All at once (One moment in time)

by johnny-agape

Look. In her eyes, you can see a deep pool. Something. Deep, bottomless, but not abysmal (terrible word). Spacious, where you can be lost within; Yet drawn in deeper. Ah, But look again at the surface of her eyes, (Coming closer and closer), Reflecting the look of awe within your own. Feel the fear of your own trepidation, (Is there even truly a word for that feeling?), As you draw in together. (Coming closer and closer) A curl of brown slides down over her face. A momentary distraction (momentarily reprieved); the world in the moment, Moving even slower. That lock of hair, beautifully demure; Had shifted my focus, just for a moment. I return my gaze to the window of her soul, While I reach up to brush it back behind her ear. My touch, causes her eyes to blink; A flash of lashes that briefly feign the ignorance of what lies beneath them. Moving even slower still, (Coming closer and closer), Her eyes are revealed with all the grave of an opening act; purely, art on an increasingly grander scale. Slowly looking up at me. My hands trembling slightly, insist (Casually), That I may move with all the magnitude of my heart. (Casually) So intense now, as I draw a breath; She feels it. Intensely. (Choose. Left or Right) I lean in, pulled as a force by an irresistible object. (To the right) My lips part with trembling bravery And move in, To a meeting of meaningful joy. I feel the sharp intake of her breath Rush past her teeth, as her nose moves to brush against mine. (So close now) Her lip quivers as we meet, And now (Before/During/After) I am lost within Her.

Not about anyone in particlular, I just wanted to try and capture the ideal of that feeling.
