rapt

the way you looked at me

needing

pleading

wanting

haunted

 i could do no more than desire

to take you from this place

i am capable

i am in a position

to do this

moonlight streaks across our conversations

as time slowly progresses

the feeling of summer washes over our existence 

and i

desire

you

the hallmark of intensity was when you kept up

kept the conversation going

kept yourself

here

with me

enclosed in a bubble that would shield us from those intent to do harm

those saddened by perfection

a bubble that blocked out the rest of the world

just us

in this moment

this chapter

collaborating on beauty

again and again and again and again

life brings these signs

again and again and again and again

i say i'll learn my lesson this time

but which lesson am i meant to learn

i've mastered that which i thought is was

but what it was

it wasn't

and what it wasn't

it was

so here i sit

rapt in your beauty

the soul i've been longing for

wait

stay 

but wait

and be patient with this

for there is a light that shines

within you

within me

we reach for each other

so that we can teach each other

and learn from each other

about each other

and the life

that both of us

desire
