A gust of wind blew
Clothes on the line slithered
Then everything was still
The dust that obscured
My sight settled
The whistling winds muffled
And ceased
Before me stood
One raggedy cow girl
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I know I don’t
I tipped my hat
And advanced
At close proximity
She was full of imperfections
Crooked chiseled front teeth
Face covered in freckles
Hair in disarray
Except her eyes were full and radiant
Emanating a feeling so surreal
She had this aura around her
Calling out to me
It was irresistible
There was perfection
In her imperfections
She was unlike
Anything I had ever encountered
I was dumbfounded
I had just gotten hit by the love train
Without warning
I had toppled head over heels
I felt like a child, carefree
Perhaps I was imagining it
But my feet seemed to be sinking
Into the sand I stood
Just like the feelings that were ravaging inside
Sizzling hot just like the desert sun.
