I find myself gawking at her sheer elegance and realise that my mouth had been open the entire time. Her gaze roams around finally meets mine- it feels like an electric jolt to the heart. Her soft grey eyes are like minor storms embedded on a serene surface. She walked with such pomposity that everything else in the world seems so distant and unnecessary. Her very presence causing eruptions in my pulse as she continues on her journey. The blood running through my veins are pumped at an alarming rate as my body tries to keep up with the hyperventilation that she is causing me.

She gives a smile that would put a sky full of stars to shame. Her jet black hair billowing in her own zephyr behind her, letting it bounce and flow as she takes each slow step. Her milk white skin as smooth as porcelain glowing with a radiance that can outshine the moon itself. She gave nature’s garden the true definition of beauty by just existing. My breathing had ceased for the entire duration of her arrival. I couldn’t feel my body nor could I find anyone else around me as important. I felt like I was dreaming and I would have to awaken to sad reality of solitude.

By the time she reached me I could barely figure out how to breathe but I did not care because she was the only thing that mattered to me. I would’ve given all of my meagre possessions right there and then just to catch the slightest glimpse of her because that would suffice for a year’s starvation. I was close enough to get a whiff of her scent. She smelled like freshly blossomed lavender and clean linen, a smell that I had not experienced in decades. I welcomed the new sensation to wash over me as I can feel my life force filling up once more. Every breath I took felt like a step deeper in Heaven. I had been frozen in my own void for such a long time that I did not realise that she had spoken to me.

I allowed her voice to fill my heart. The way she spoke was of such class I felt the urge to put my hat back on. She spoke with such eloquence that could make any man desire to listen to her forever. Her voice made it seem as if she had golden pipes within her throat that poured out sweet honey at every word. I felt at her command, I would do anything she asked me if she used this heart-soothing voice.
