As Our Worlds' Intertwine

By Daryl Simons Jr.

There she is, girl of wonder… 
This is quite the splendor
Should I approach this beauty
Could I even approach her, the futility
                                   
Those beautiful brown eyes
The way her hair glistens in the light
Her figure could drop anyone to their knees
She just seems… perfect

---

I wondered about her story
Surely, I don’t want to regret this when I am forty
Is her life as perfect as her appearance?
I will only find out through perseverance 

I slowly walk up to her, nervously
Hands become sweaty, body becomes heavy
Infatuation overtakes reason
I passed out before even saying a word

My eyes slowly open, and I see her
Her hands gently caressing my hair
“Are you okay?” she asked
I smiled, and reached for her hand

She is looking at me, lost in her daze
Life seems perfect, everything’s a haze
I asked this lovely lady for her name
She replied “Shhh, it doesn’t matter”

The dreamy girl joins me in the bed
She pulls herself closer, maybe a ruse
Wrapping her arm around me
This was a moment that I didn’t want to lose

I wondered why she entered my life
She just keeps staring at me… it seems right
A smile creeps across her face, and travels to mine
                                                                                       My world collapses, and everything is fine

---

Maybe she is my guardian angel
Or the mysterious “one” we search for
Maybe she has realized something in me
Something that I could never see

This might sound cheesy, or romantic poetic
Moments like this used to make me sick
But I now I believe in something that I thought was myth
She is extraordinary, someone I want to share my life with

Life before meeting her was bleak and dull
This girl, I don’t even know her, a naïve fall
Who knows where this path will lead, like an endless vine
A beautiful Love is born, as our world’s intertwine…
