Taken

for Anya

I want to take you
To a dance floor in a far away city
Listening to electronic music, ethereal, moving our bodies
All night long
While looking into your eyes
And feeling free of gravity
Afloat as if hovering in eternal space dust
While drenched in sweat
Our bodies touch and our souls meet
In a place out of this world
Where our hearts came to rest
Since our childhood days
Only known to you and me -
And all lost in the sound
Of beating waves of energy
Touching your lips
Experiencing timelessness
Being forever yours.

I want to take you to space ..
Jump out of a station
Circling Mars,
Floating with you among the stars
Knowing that you will feel at home
Like me
Looking into your eyes through a visor
And seeing the reflection of a massive ship
Beautiful
The product of genius and hard work
And your smile running across your face
Catching mine
Touching our suits we push each other
Tumbling through the emptiness
Knowing
That we are together forever
And can’t get lost
No matter the temporary space
Between us -
Always pulled together eventually
By the gravity of our dreams.

I want to step out of a home
Into a miraculous garden with you
Filled with flowers and plants bearing fruit
Knowing that our hands planted each of them
And take your hand
And run laughing through the splendor
Of nature that followed our plan
Colors, smells, life all around us
As we dig into the soil and I catch
Looking up from the work just for a moment
Your eternal smile
The one you have reserved for me
The one I fell for so long ago
The one filled with love and admiration
With closeness and understanding
With happiness and comfort
With silliness that found its friend
With curiosity that found its match
With ambition that found its partner
With happiness that found its soulmate.

I want to take you to endless forests
And hike with you to highest peaks
And deepest valleys
Side by side with our lethal dogs
Trained like a weapon,
Beautiful and elegant,
Setting up a camp near a far away river
Meditating at night around a fire
Surrounded by fireflies and the heavenly rays
Of a moon and the stars
To which you and I feel drawn
With every breath we take.
Opening my eyes,
See your silhouette against the flames
And feel the depth of my love
That strikes me
Whenever and wherever I see you,

I want to roam a futuristic Asian city
Tight by your side
Holding you close, not letting you go
Followed by our robot dog
Stepping out of a sports car from the future
Mingling in exotic restaurants,
Visiting ancient museums
And then and there
Next to you, I will hold you in my arms
So you can feel
That happiness itself was brought to Earth
And found a home right next to you,
Never to leave
Always to warm you
And never to harm you.
Feeling lost in your touch,
In front of an ancient painting.
Contemplating philosophy
And in a crowded place
Muse about psychology.
Because your mind seeks to understand
Like mine.
Driven, restless, forever awake.

I want to race you at night
In our insanely fast
Matching sports cars
Listening to ethereal music,
The same sound track,
Speeding along the highways,
Chasing and driving side by side
Faster than the rest of the world,
Faster than anyone else,
Just you and me,
Lost in each other
At the speed of a world
Rushing by
A world we intend to conquer
Never giving up,
Never backing down.

I want to make love to you
whenever your loving eyes touch my soul
Whisper my mother tongue into your ear
And hear the voice of your ancestors teach me
And uplift you and elevate you
And be the stepping stone for all your dreams
I want to take you high above the Earth
And down to the depth of our oceans
I want to lay the world at your feet
Knowing that your humbleness
Will appreciate even the smallest gesture
The tiniest expression of my love
The faintest beat of my heart for you.
I want to take you
To the realm that we saw
When we were together
For a few months
The place that I have never seen before
A dimension out of this world
You and I were taken there
And it felt like home.
You felt like home.
You were home.
