A Beautiful Moment In Time
Time Stopped...
The moment I saw you, my thoughts relived each feeling of my past,
the beauty of summer romance
and sadness of lost passion,
the intense pain of young life
and the slow loss of growing old,
the need to share love
and the ever present desire for the touch of a beautiful woman.
I was transfixed...
My emotions left me weak and self conscious,
as the cool green earth of your intense gaze
melted into the deep blue heaven of mine,
the essence of love at first sight
with intensely deep and dark desire,
the passion overwhelmed me
with an impossible yet insatiable need for you.
You stopped...
As your eyes met mine, each of your fingers slipped from between his
and your body slowly turned
but your eyes remained on me.
Your cheeks gently flushed
but you did not look away.
Your full lips hinted at a gentle smile
when finally you broke your longing gaze and took his hand once more.
Our eyes met again...
As you quickly glanced back at me, I wondered what you were thinking,
thoughts of an intensely beautiful and caring affair
of mutually given satisfaction and pleasure,
the need for a lasting, caring relationship
filled with a lifetime of love and tenderness,
or perhaps it was just the need to be seen, to be noticed,
to be wanted, to live in someone else's world... if only for a moment.
