She is radiant in surrender
her skin flushed with warm hues
Her smile disarms me in a moment-
eyes like oceans hide her thoughts through a thin veneer
While I - I am tossed by a tide of emotion
lost in that moment
as words of expression tumble down
an avalanche of feeling
inadequate yet profound
Is this connection?
At last soul searching's end?
The sweet taste of certainty
an irresistible blend
Is this the warmth of morning?
Of sunlight splashing through
-at last the shadow fading
the futility of loneliness and fear exposing
Summed up in a still
your hair spilled around your face
framed in blushing beauty
your eyes locked on mine
Sudden is the knowledge of love
where all reason is folly
awakened and untamed by time's dulling
youthful and pure
For AC Jan 09
