Literature
Forever and Longer
Weve been standing, embracing, in this open field for over an hour
You looked at me through those blue green eyes,
cut half off by your dimming lids,
and persuaded the hair falling over my lips, behind my ear.
My eyes flicker open wide
with sudden awareness of your intention.
Anticipation flies about my gut.
The irresistibleness or your arms now wrapped around my waist
surpasses the little jolting pain it brings.
I try to get closer to you
through the movement of a slow clumsy step.
Instead you pull me into a deeper hold.
You always know how to make things right
How to make them perfect
I look up to you
