You won me in the shard of a second I opened to you like an oyster In that one moment you tore down walls, shattered towers. Opened shells, devoured me, saw me, and in that instant, in your soft eyes, I saw no triumph, you were a mirror. I was beautiful, you saw no scars. Your smile burned into my soul... And I was yours. *** March 24, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

My defenses were equally and utterly shattered. <3 And why wouldn't they have been, you're only the most beautiful angel I've ever met ;-)

"I saw no triumph, you were a mirror" this line to me, is a pure expression of the power and triumph of love. Thank you for this generous poem straight from the heart :) Amitiés
