Presence of Lovers

The grace of a moment captured in a look
A soul stolen with the simplicity of a smile
A story told in just about every book
Beauty personified, every moment worthwhile

This gentle sound shakes my soul awake
In a vision where all else is silent now
Your laughter causes this slight ache
My heart stirs more than I thought to allow

Encased in this prison of self conscience doubt
I am frozen in place by the thought of rejection
My heart struggling to scream and shout
The boundless depths of my endless affection

A star's lifetime goes by in that one single blink
As eyes meet and fears are mirrored in their reflection
Barriers fall all around to form this link
And two souls align in utter perfection

The entire world revolving around us
Time stops as lips touch one another
Identities lost in that single sweet caress
All else fading in the presence of lovers
