Linger

Moments mirror  
slow-motioned silhouettes,  
suspended in the still  
of trickling time.

Your hands  
have yet to feel me,  
though I've never  
felt so touched.

Tangled  
in the tension  
between our bated breath,  
eager to explore,  
altering the air  
now heavy and electric.

Fleeting flashes  
blur between us,  
on the brink,  
summoning the surge  
of a storm yet to break.

Your arms  
weave their way  
around my waist,  
shattering time’s tempo.

Our lips linger,  
and you inhale  
my sigh, slowly.  

Then you kiss me,  
fast and fierce.
