Meeting Your Laugh
Locations
There is a surge in the universe
When you are in a moment completely,
When you meet a soul in that moment too.
When I shared infinity with you.
Infinite, yet only as large as the distance between one and two
Lasting the span of when our eyes met.
Met and reconnected in a new space
Where stories once begun, continue.
An intersection is all it is
Choosing not to blow by the stop
Meeting a soul behind a smile
Resting in your laugh
Tell me your stories, I'll tell you mine
Looking for the overlaps
Feeling intelligence in the timber of your voice
Your honest compliments cause me to trip over my grin
Time moves quickly, nothing comes easy
Except what I feel
Gritting my teeth against the everything
Flowing around and between us
With the moon above us
Reflected in the lake below
And raindrops kissing my skin
My eyes tell the stars of your gentleness
I wasn't ready, until I was
It was me, it was you, it was our moments
And a moment that wasn't
Until it was
Can we go back there, joking and laughing
I want to paint the night sky and bright stars on your face
Taste the pine in the air
Feel your arms surrounding me
Connect in words spoken
In the inch of space between our lips
Connect at the hands, at the eyes
At the smile
Then wisper goodnight
Release your embrace
Draw away my fingertips
And turn my eyes toward home
