Phantom Stranger

by Megan Jean   Sep 25, 2004


A warm breeze blows through the curtains
Stirring the damp air in my room
It leaves behind a rustling of papers
And a scent of the night's dew

He has returned
The phantom stranger
He moves silently through the room
As if walking on the misty air

And makes his way to my bedside
My heart is racing
And my chest is moving rapidly with rushed breaths
As he draws nearer

Millions of thoughts
Explode in my head
Causing my flesh to crawl
With goose bumps of anticipation

Imagining the closeness of his body
His gentle hands searching
The forbidding territory
That is me

The thought of his sweet lips
Caressing my skin
Searching...wanting
My skin growing warm under their touch

Finally he has reached my bedside
And is leaning over me
Our lips our centimeters apart
Electricity is shooting through my body

Then he disappears in a misty haze
I sit up, filled with disappointment
Realizing that it has all been a dream
I lay myself back down again

But a smile plays at my lips
For I know that it wont be long
And I'll be seeing him again
My phantom stranger
