A Moment

You pull me in close

kissing the back of my ear

running your fingers down

my neck, chest, stomach, thighs

hearing your breathing get heavier

the faint rhythm of your heartbeat

your beard brushing up against my skin

I am soon wrapped in your embrace

the faint scent of your cologne

dancing with my floral perfume

suddenly feeling timid

I hold back my words

in fear of shattering

this delicate and intricate silence

we share

all time around us stands still

as we are entangled in each other

I don’t want this moment to end

or any other moments with you

but it soon all does

quickly and sporadically

just like it started.
