All it took was one second...

One second for an entire eternity to pass.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind... then it happened.

One gaze... one deep look into the abyss was all it took to freeze time.

I thought I had the strength of one thousand men, but one gaze was all it took to shatter my walls.

One gaze... stopped my rampant thoughts.

With my heart in my throat and my chest clenching with life... i saw you.

Your past, present, and future.

I saw your happiness... your pain.

I saw you...

I saw beauty marred by ugly souls and malevolent energy.

I felt an energy as strong as my own...

As rich as the purest chocolate.

I felt you...

My soul hummed and sang with the ferocity of one thousand church choirs.

Never has it been in the presence of such... grace and beauty.

One gaze... into those bright eyes...

One gaze... was enough to make me wanna bow at your feet.

One gaze... was enough to make me wanna have you bow at mine.

Made me wanna give myself completely to you, and to take you all for myself.

One gaze... into those bright eyes...

Made me wanna moan and sing.

**** near made me believe in god...

Jacory... your name rolled across my mind like the wind over a field of sunflowers.

Those bright eyes... that beautiful smile.

God you are perfection...

One gaze... one smile... one eternity.

One look into those bright eyes.

Those bright eyes that contain so much... so much promise... so much joy... so much... pain...

In one second... i knew... i felt it

One second... was all it took for me to be claimed... for this bull to stop in his tracks...

To be taimed...

Those bright eyes...
