You Leave Me Breathless

“I'm right here. We're right here. I can't tell you what the point of this is except that I'm so happy I met you, and I can't tell you what's going to happen... But I do know that right now, in this moment, on this island, I'm where I'm supposed to be, and that's with you.”  jennifer niven, 

I cannot bear to look deep into your eyes,
Shimmering, laughing green that’s so enchanting.
Why do they leave me breathless and provocative?
I cannot help but whisper that I love her.
Can she feel the ethereal emotions between us?

We walk hand in hand, our hands so warm.
My mind singing some lovely love song.
Until my lips whisper the self-same lullaby
That fills my heart with uncontrolled emotions.
It is a delicate dance between euphoria and vulnerability.

A fleeting moment as two hands in love gain in warmth, 
My heart pounding, I feel that tender, gentle pressure,
Then a glance, our silver smiles so aglow,
A fleeting moment and I am lost, possessed,
As love can be an all-encompassing force.

Yes. you leave me in an excruciating emotion, 
You overfill my heart with endless light. 
You are my sunrise and sunset all in one. 
You are both my day and night.
Can you understand why you leave me breathless?

CayCay Godwin May 25, 2025 at 1:22 AM You are such a romantic and to be a poet in addition to that really enhances the gifts from your pen. Love, romantic and heart deep, palpitates in this poem. I wish I knew who Jennifer Niven is and where she said the words you quoted, an actress, a movie? I'm clueless. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
