To Be Moved Like This

If only you knew
how it is to be moved like this.
Displaced for a moment
as I try to catch 
the breath you take away.
Fingers drumming drumming
making the ground tremble.
Or is that just me?
I am struck
Heart stopped.
By the beautiful rawness 
of your stare.
Oh if only I could 
make you understand
how it feels
to feel everything all at once...
