RED

Red
Was the color of the night
You walked into my life
Like a goddess
That appeared out of nowhere
With nothing but a red towel
Wrapped around your naked body

And it was on that moment
When I asked myself
Whether or not I was dreaming
For I was about to take a shower
In some unknown building
Very much like a lonely dormitory
With wooden benches and very small windows
Yet there were only two stalls
Like it was meant for us
Like I was meant to be alone
With a goddess
In red

As water poured over my nakedness
The walls seemed to get smaller
The walls I wanted to bang
The walls that were an eternity
Separating me from you
Me from my red
Red you

And so it was that I got out
Of my confining shell
And peeked
At the stall nearby

And surely, there you were

Naked
With crystal water bouncing off
Your radiating body
Undisturbed
Black hair flowing
Black hair dancing
Black hair turning

Towards my burning eyes

And that was when I saw
Your naked eyes
Still as a full moon
On a starless Hammond night
Unassuming
Unfriendly
Unaware of my obsessive stares
Uncaring

Very flirtatious

And that was all I remembered
But I awoke that winter morning
Maybe sweating
And definitely puzzled

Naked

Wrapped in nothing
But a red
Damp towel
