I meditate on the squeeze of your embrace
A Villanelle
I meditate on the squeeze of your embrace
No mantra, meditation, murmuring entailed
I see that first perfect picture of your face.
.
The world unwhirled, lungs hovering in space
Trying to store your fragrance as inhaled
I meditate on the squeeze of your embrace
.
You were from a different kind of place
And though in going there my courage failed -
I see that first perfect picture of your face
.
You acted awkward, I saw only grace
I knew you felt the night, sweetly derailed
I meditate on the squeeze of your embrace
.
I don't know if you meant to leave a trace
On the heart whose longing you unveiled
I see that first perfect picture of your face
.
I promise you that heart has kept your place
That magic in my senses has prevailed;
I see that first perfect picture of your face
I meditate on the squeeze of your embrace

This is the most romantic thing I’ve ever read on the internet. I can’t get over it. You put words to what love feels like; how a person can mean so much to you in a moment that it changes you forever.
Oh this was so divine! Such a lovely poem!
