My Whole Body Shivered
I watch your lips move as you speak,
your tongue curls against your teeth.
I feel your smile as we share a look.
I want to know your likes,
your dislikes.
What are your hopes and dreams?
I want to hear you laugh.
Walking, your hand touches mine,
we play with the simple touch of each other's hands.
I don't tell you but my whole body shivers.
An hour passes,
it feels like seconds.
We lie looking up,
I look but all I can see is you.
I don't tell you but my whole body shivers.
Your face is etched
permanently
on my eyes.
Your stare is gentle.
I feel sand under my feet.
I hear waves against the rocks.
I don't tell you but my whole body shivers.
We are standing at the steps
in front of your house.
Sitting holding hands.
We never moved
from that first spot.
It was my heart that traveled miles.
An angel slowly dims the lights.
Day turns into night.
I don't tell you but my whole body shivers.
You lean an inch.
I lean two.
My heart like a bonfire ignites.
I swim a blissful ocean.
Our lips touch.
We move closer.
Our mouths
slowly,
ever
so
slowly,
meet and part.
We kiss.
I say good night.
I walk away
the fullness of you
embedded in my heart.
I didn't say - but you know - my whole body shivered.
Love above all else Love
Armand
