Your smile lights the room
Beaming
Awkwardly you walk with me
Looking at me and then to the ground again
You brush your hair away
You clear your throat
“It’s ok” I say, “It’s all going to be fine”
You smile and pull close
The relief of surrender falls over you
and you awaken to a new reality
In you, the things other men have found strange
I find endearing
In you, the things other men have found challenging
I find exciting
In you, I see a wondrous woman
Searching for stars on her ceiling
Finding love in blue eyes
Awkwardly you walk
but you know you won’t walk alone
Anymore
Doubt and fear fade
and your soul breathes a sigh of relief
As I take your breath away…
Its beautiful.
I’m writing from a whole different spot right now. Brighter, I guess. Thank you.
I can understand the feeling.. I’m trying to find a different spot for me. Hope I’ll do soon. Your poem was refreshing.
