Simile

by Thomas Duerksen

I rush out and see

the dark, black sky

Flowing across the universe

like your long, black skirt

when it is hugged by the wind.

I run back inside

but your eyes shine

like the delicate blue carpet

laughing up at me.

Outside, the silhoutted trees

beckon me,

and taunt me,

like your long, slender fingers.

And all the smells

smell like your perfume...

And all the sounds

sound like your voice...

And every footstep

is you beside me...

You have permeated my senses,

and have conquered my soul.
