#0065

At first glimpse there was intrigue
So in our first moment of introduction
There was a hesitance and anticipation
As if with baited breath
The universe paused for the reaction
To this encounter.
If reaction there was,
It passed silently by
And I left with my heart untouched,
My world unchanged.
You created a new opportunity
And as your lips touched mine
My world twisted and expanded,
Forming a perfect place
For you to inhabit.
You shaped and molded it
Adjusting it to suit you perfectly.
I became more and more convinced
That these alterations were permanent.
I floated down the river you created
Fearful of treacherous rocks or crocodiles
Looking out for a cliff edge.
You seemed to whisper constantly
Reassuring me in words I couldn't comprehend
But my heart held hope
And you were my champion.
I committed myself
Even to the waterfall, if that was our end.
Your river gaped forming a lake;
Still and serene
With beauty I'd never imagined
That I became accustomed to.
Here I stay, exploring coves
And finding beaches
Discovering all the time new wonders.
