Shooting Stars

Your glances are shooting stars
Captivating and fleeting
Falling into my atmosphere
And burning in my heart
I know what you’re thinking
And you know what I’m feeling
A whisper of intimacy
Promising more to come
Your gaze takes me captive
Lost in it’s soft sincerity
Eyes clear as day
Yet deep as the ocean
A window to your beautiful soul
I fall through that opening
I am lost
I am found
By strong, tender arms
Holding me close
Home at last
Hidden from the world
We both escape, unseen
I long for this moment
To never end
As it fades
Into dark
