I find myself caught in the gaze of your eyes.
The shimmering light of my life.
The glass marbles I have found myself so helplessly falling for
Almost glowing in the moonlight.
I can’t explain the glassy orbs
Or how mesmerizing I find them.
I can’t find the words to that attach them to such a perfect face
A glistening tan colored skin.
A button for a nose.
Eyebrows sculpted so perfectly out of hair it’s like you don’t even try.
And yet that face is connected to a brain
A way of thinking I’m so in love with
The unique way of processing the world
Of studying its surroundings.
Sometimes I notice the moments frozen
Stuck in the shattering moments of the past or fears.
And I wonder how after all that we got here.
My head laid on your chest
Trying to keep my breath steady.
I admire the way your chest raises when your breath
In and out
In and out
In and out.
And I find myself lost in the thought
The beats rhythm is so calming
Leaving me to remember how that beat means you are here with me
And as I feel my eyes close I kiss the skin softly
Thanking the world for the miracle I was given.
Thanking your heart for beating and keeping you here with me.
