The Moment

By: Michelle Nichole Karn

In your arms, in the dark,
I feel the warmth left its mark.
I hear your voice, soft and sweet,
Through me, tingling to my feet.
You pull me closer and kiss my face.
I wish to stay in that embrace.
As you gently touch my skin,
I feel the deepest yearning within.
I ask myself if this is real.
Is this a dream? Does he too feel?
I tell myself to stop the thoughts-
Just keep the joy his love has brought.
As you kiss my shoulders now,
I know it's love and I allow,
Myself to believe this is true,
I know I'm in love with you.
I lean my body closer too,
And hope I'll always be with you.
You run your fingers down my face,
Brushing fallen hair in place.
I tilt my gaze upon your eyes.
I see such tenderness and no lies.
I close my eyes as you grant a kiss;
A feeling of the most perfect bliss.
I make a silent wish to never forget,
This moment which I'll never regret.
As you slowly let me go,
I pray the feelings still to grow.
I realize I'd throw it all away,
To feel this feeling every day.
And as I leave your arms tonight,
I say I love you with eyes alight.
