Time

In this perfect moment,
Through a velvet darkness...
I'm softly gazing at you.
It's 12:32.

To the gentle beauty of your sleep,
I bear witness...
Your body lies prone...
To my eyes alone.

My skin is still warm...
Still moist with your sweat.
The bed is bathed in a glow...
The moon's deep indigo.

Passing cars cast shadows...
Dancing silhouettes...
Across the bedroom door.
It's now 12:34.

We shared deep intensity...
Mere moments ago,
As two lovers intertwined...
One soul, one mind.

Your caress has healed my pain,
And erased my sorrow.
I've never felt so free...
To simply be.

In this perfect moment,
Shrouded in silken silence...
To you I belong....
Whether right or wrong.

Tonight my spirit is calmed
In your presence...
I'm so grateful you're mine.
It's nearly 12:39...
