Shallow Breath

Soft moonlit eyes that paralyze
Unbridled passion on the rise
The room afire to faded light
Fragrant desire fills up the night
As worlds dissolve, so unaware
Entangled in your casual stare
Nowhere hide.  No way to see
No self control inside of me
Slow motions move through tangled time
In shallow breath I feel that I’m
Adrift upon your velvet sea
Your captive for eternity

…Jeff Bresee
