In these moments,
I want to hold time back,
to whisper in her ear,
don’t you see this,
don’t you feel the beauty of this moment,
the true love in the air
so delicate,
a silk thread,
a wisp of steam from a kettle,
a flower I picked to show that I care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t you see this?
It needs to last as long as possible,
We need to stretch it out,
as long and thin,
as translucent as we dare,
A leaf of pastry:
We want to be able to make out each other’s faces when we look through it.
Smiles that stretch on and on,
eyes staring on and on,
a slow slow heartbeat that spells out
you’re the one, you’re the one, you’re the one<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time doesn’t listen,
Time marches on, so,
amongst cruel hours
you are the deepening blue of the sky
a day lived to the full
one steady breath as we give into her
give into each other;
finally close our eyes <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
