Time stands still

For the woman who makes my life worth living...

Time stands still,

As I trudge along...waiting for the sun to go down..

As the sand blows in my face...

blinding my eyes..

making them hurt..

But then i see you...

You...all of you..

I stop.

The beast in me could never know love,

feel love,

express love...

But with you..

I find those words

somehow from the wilderness that is human expression..

I stop.

I kneel down....

I plunder the seven seas...

I cross the unending borders of inhibitions....

I break the silence of observation....

I seize time with both my hands...

Just for that one moment with you...

I take a step.

I join my hands....

I want to know impossible things...

Like how the air kisses your face..

How the cold water feels on your skin..

How the petals caress your hand...

Because the more I know about you..

The more i love you...

You..all of you...

I bow my head...

And Pray.

I've never felt..

Never cared...

Never forgiven..

Never thought...

Never tried to rise above the lie that this world is...

But now...

As i learn..from you..

I feel....

The sun goes down...

The sand stops blowing...

My eyes have regained consciousness...

My parched throat feels the warmth of first drops of water...

I look around...

I feel it.

I feel...

You."
