blood red half moon
inch by inch you creep to me
and i creep back

trench warfare of hitting knees
breath hitched
as i attack

we take turns to look away
so we can admire each others beauty in peace

for if we see each other
the world stops

in a lightning fast glance though
i can see the world in her eyes
and the beauty of world becomes clearer.

i long to sit with you
deserted
in a beach on the morning
marvelling at how you change the tides

but
i know,
that when you begin to show me your wonder
the sun will come out
and i will be left
deserted
