Gardenia, Like the Flower
It was simple how they met
There she was, standing alone
spelling his name on the tip of her tongue
she swayed with every letter
composing a lullaby to the strum of her heart.
his presence was her stage
heart pounding,
she was telling a story of two strangers
desperately searching for words
she knew his face….
flashes of familiar memories,
glimpses of crossing paths
she remembered him.
There he was, cornering a wall
overseeing her every move
she swayed as if grace was conceived in her hips,
he knew her face
silently, he chanted her name
somehow..somehow they had met
her fragrance lingered a memory
he was desperately searching..
searching for a memory
she was a loner
he’d walked up to her on
that starry night that the moon substituted the sun
she was the color of mahogany brown
with a tint of moonlight blues
she stood there, head sunken low
hands curved around a glass
nursing ms. brandy on the rocks
he stopped a step away from her face
captivated by the innocence of her beauty.
She elevated her head
her eyes joining his
concern masking sadness
and saw..and
he asked”what is your name?”
the corner of her mouth arched up
“Gardenia, like the flower” a voice escaped her lips
“have we met?” he asked…..
