Beauty is as beauty does.
The bare, soft shoulders
my arm rests on,
as we lay
undercovers,
and the day
has yet to become
a smile,
or a disaster.
The reflections
of our hearts,
or our actions,
and what happens after.
I know we’re gonna slow it down.
Linger on these moments
and let the morning settle out.
No words,
just touching skin.
Speaking to each other
in a language
that our souls understand.
Light comes in
and the day
seems calm,
but we’re not
hurrying on.
Right here,
right now,
this is the place.
The moment
of our getaway.
Your breathing,
heart beating,
I can feel it
with my being.
We’re alive,
and savoring the feeling.
Of you
and I
being in this life
together.
Wishing this moment
would last forever.
