Mutual Recognition

My dreams were provocative throughout the night and lingered into the waking day. My whole essence coursed with desire for the sexualised sultress that wanted me so deeply and yet had been forbidden by the overriding dominance of dream. Who was she?// I’ll never know, but she did walk through my waking day that very day, and directly into my carriage. I recognised her instantly, as her left eye took sight of me from below a single lifting lock. She recognised me, and stared a little in dismay, for our brief time thereafter, there was a mysterious tension as she would look at me, and then I her.// After only one stop my opposite disembarked and turned, and I watched her watching me disappear from the platform.// This happens to me from time to time, not always sexualised, it can be anyone in any number of circumstances.
