Apparition

Late walking in the silent darkness

Feeling chills on my body

Is there someone behind me?

A swift caress on my hair

Should I turn around?

My steps trembling

The air is alive, breathing, whispering...

Surrounding me from everywhere

Fear growing in my heart

Pounding, shouting:

RUN!!

Soft sough holding me back...
I can't run!

I stop walking

Gentle breath enfolding me

Frosty, tender, slipping under my clothes

My skin seems cast in stone
Scorched and icy,
Quivering and waiting...

I catch a glimpse of two sparkling eyes
So close to my frightened cheek

A spectre...

Blue sigh in my ears

A lingering scent of sweet moss

Misty savor on my shivering lips...

I've been kissed by an apparition!
