A Dream In Reality Poem by Halalisani ImmaculatePleasure Mchunu

As she approached,
Suddenly her captivating appearance,
Became a threat to my confidence.
Like an auto-focus camera,
I involuntarily fixed a gaze at her,
Mouth wide open Like a crocodile anticipating prey,
As thoughts got juggled in my mind,
I began to stutter,
Desperately trying to find the alluring words to say.
While she got nearer and nearer,
A smile Formed on my face from ear to ear.
Briskly crossing the road,
I decided to express myself in the form of an ode,

But her smile was too elegant,
That alone made me feel higher than sitting on an elephant,
I politely asked her to stop where she was,
We suddenly developed a connection like a phone caLl,
While asking for her name,
In my mind played images of her behind,
Which was shaped like a beach ball.

I felt the joy within me,
Working its way up and down like a see-saw,
I hypnotized her saying her hand would fit perfectly in mine,
When I wasn't even sure.
When our palms got attached,
Like a disk drive that's formatted,
My mind forgot about every other women,
And she is now the only one in my memory.
I squeezed her hand gently,
To reassure myself that it was reality,
I now long for her kiss,
It is the key to my unending bliss.
