In An Instant

Eyes meet. 
Nerve endings tingle. 
That spark of something fills the air. 
A connections between two people- instantaneous 
And within moments, the certainty settles 
Like a soft new blanket 
Warm and reassuring 
With no fuzz balls to mar its perfection. 
This is what has been missing. 
The silken throw pillow on the bed of life. 
The one that enhances every other texture and hue. 
It at once soothes the touch and sharpens the vision. 
Perfection and completion in a moment 
When love is found 
And excitement abounds.

I love your romantic discription. Love makes everything around us feel perfect for a time. Even when the fuzz balls appear the blanket of love still comforts and reassures us.

blankets--fuzz balls come with time when things are well worn and beloved, but would hate to have them straight out of the package..LOL

Thanks Sara! Be by to return the favor soon. Time to cook supper here! My growing boys say Poetrysoup doesn't fill them up. How silly is that! ;-)
