Encounters (best version)- Hauoli Kahaleuahi


Encounters

Unknown was your spirit, untouched by me.
Identified simply by name and looks,
Looks that failed to stop me, my wandering eyes.
That was then, wandering eyes no more.

Like winds sent to the East, flailing, whimsical,
You traveled, not searching, rather living
And free, content was your soul, delicate too.
Somewhere, somehow this wind met a flower.

Beginning to bloom, my petals still thin,
Negligent to surroundings, your presence.
Maybe by the sea was the first clear sight,
Where eyes froze, petals upright in delight.

By the sea, a man, one of mystery.
Our bodies encompassed by elements
That were crashing, glistening in light.
I was enchanted by nature and man.

Time easily slipped by, no encounter.
Minds frequently trailed back to the sea,
Fantasies of salty kisses not made,
Hoping for courage, next will be better.

Butterflies seized to halt, fluttering mad,
Erupting into flight upon chatter.
Words escaped nervously from tongue to tongue,
Leaving two smitten in a land of lust.

Lust to love was a sudden molding,
Bound tight, woven by hopes of future.
Once a blooming bud, now becomes woman.
In the hands of destiny, she found a match.

By wind and sea came visions of today,
A dream once, though now fulfilled by his touch.
