Axis Shifting

Axis Shifting

Did the world stop

revolving,

because I did?

When did time pause,

The grand march.

A wondrous thing

to fall in love.

Slow things down,

enjoy the tempered

pace of afternoon strolls,

park lemonade.

Your hand in mine,

warm and gentle.

Rest my head

On your chest,

A place created

Just for me.

How do I describe

Swirling spectrums

Of universes,

Celestial beings,

glow…in your eyes

Piercing mine with

A certainty I’ve never

Once known.

Lost words

Strangle my throat

Pronunciations of

Beauty escape me

in the heart

Of your gentleness.

Strength when, if

Necessary.

Protection most

Fierce, most feral.

Until a storm

Clouds my face

Then you kneel

Until the clouds pass.

That too is sacred

The soft moments

Where tears fall

And you, refuse

To let them fall

Alone, abandoned.

I think the world

Stopped on its axis…

Before you, I ran

Muttering nothings.

Endless musings

With no purpose.

Now with you

The world has now

slowed to only

Moments spent

Together.
