Attention

wind whispers her inattention
as I stand staring at you
looking into an open window
that doesn't seem to be breathing any air

i reach for your pureness
imagining what could appear

the hollow of the daylight
hidden in the darkness
attempting to disappear

I stroke your amiable cheek
kissing you softly
without hesitation nor fear

the keys on the piano play in the background
alternating from black then white
alluring, as darkness is to light
a sensual serenity succumbing
to feeling, we both know
is right

your head rests upon my shoulder
I whisper my attention
holding on
forever tight

"the keys on the piano play in the background alternating from black then white alluring, as darkness is to light" Great imagery.

I really like the "window that doesn't seem to be breathing any air!" perfect hiatus with expectation; what comes next? Elizabeth
