the world around us slows
then stops
my chest feels heavy
and light as a plume
your eyes-
interwoven gazes
entrap me, darling
let me be the moth
enamored with the glow
of the flame
let me be the sunflower
forever gazing
awaiting the glory of the sun
let me be the ocean
ebbing and flowing
with the tides of the moon
let me be
everything to you
and lose myself in your light
