a heartbeat
the world rushes around us
i pull you to a stop
you turn to face me and
i fall into your embrace,
another heartbeat
and as my cheek rests in the curve of
shoulder and neck
i breathe you in and close my eyes and feel
your arms, tight around me
and there is nothing else
skip a beat
the world is gone
we are the only ones,
you and i,
souls entwined in
a fresh heartbeat
and time moves again*
a brief moment of forever.
