Wrapped in the embrace
of her smile,
she made the hours
just kind of stand still.
And for a moment in time
all was pristine.
She wiped me clean
of my imperfections
with the gleam
in her stare.
Bodies bare
at rest, at home
with each other,
breaths exchanging air,
and shadows on the wall
formed in a perfect pair.
I need to be there
again...
