Glance

The acute rumble of a cats purr

Softens my touch

The summer flesh of a nectarine

Teased my smile

The anxious gulp in the space of silence

The soothing of the suns rays on my chest

The buoyancy my stomach feels in crystal water

The raised fists of joy

All submit to what I feel when in her gaze

She aims down the sight of her armed pupils

Loads her thoughts into the chamber of allure

Locks on to my scanning, observant eyes

She holds her breath – and I mimic

As wind with air our minds intertwined, our emotions formed a helix to the heavens

She had shot what is romantically called my heart

But she had shot my creativity as my mind reeled through every possible memory we could form

The still moments of our love captured were anything but still

The heart is at the mercy of impermanence

My mind has no limits to what it can conjure

As our minds merged, we became one flame

The second hand of the clock was reduced to third as it never came, it felt as though it was a pleasurable eternity

How beautiful is it that her eyes alone

Gave me that softened touch as a cats purr

A sweet nectar smile

Anxious gulps that echoed in silence

A filled chest as the sun would give

A feeling so light that I could never drown

Yet to see what else beyond her eyes that she can give

Yet to see are we, that I can serve.
