Anticipation

as we face each other

in the stillness of the night

i felt the weakening in my body

that i cannot deny

never would i dare to look away

from the intensity in your eyes

with every breath i took

it felt as though

i have already tasted you

so spellbound was i.

there is silence

that envelops me in warmth

and in the subtle change in you

i read your heart's intention.

not a single touch has been spared

not a word was spoken

but you were calling out my soul

urging us to be lost

in this infinite moment.

i felt the thundering in my heart

i felt my racing pulse

and finally,

our lips touched.

and into the sweet nothingness

of this kiss

we both succumb.

... it is a moment so vivid in my mind, and so alive in my heart ...

Hi, I love this poem alot, I think that you use and chain words together really well, my fav line "and into the sweet nothingness." Also thanks for posting to my new poem I just put up last night. If you look at the dates of my other poems you can see I havent wrote one in a long time. Thanks, and happy writing. =)
