Agbekor

Everything fades as their eyes meet and lock
Colorful flowers rapidly grow and bloom on the surrounding murky walls
The dark ceiling opens up into an infinite blue sky with tropical birds spread across it
The gloomy musky space is suddenly transformed into a bountiful garden oasis

They turn their bodies to face each other and in unison they take a step toward one another closing the gap between them
She stops breathing in an attempt to calm her heartbeat that pounds against her chest violently

His deep brown eyes pierce into her leaving her vulnerable and open
An inner war ensues between her sense of urgency and her hesitance
When her soft pink lips part automatically, she knows which feeling has triumphed
Without any warning he lifts his arms and takes her into him

The room is twirling now, in small circles, as she breaths in his scent
She embraces the experience --faster and faster she goes, almost dancing as the room twirls in circles around her
Music plays somewhere in the deep corners of her mind

She spins and spins in waves of ecstasy, falling, deeper and deeper, feeling dizzy with joy
She wants to laugh hysterically, to yell at the top of her lungs, to jump up and down and shake her head in a frenzy
Instead she uses all her might to mask her feelings and to stand still, in that moment, which will forever be entrenched in her mind
