The Gaze

You catch my gaze across the room
Your beckoning stare is unwavering
My breath is caught in my chest
All motion between us is still
Time has ceased in this moment

My focus is drawn only to you
As I gaze into your baby blues
My heart is pounding volumes
I wonder if you hear the melody
As my skin succumbs to the heat

I try to look away from your gaze
I can’t, I am mesmerized, locked in
My breathing deepens, uncontrolled
Only you, you’re piercing my soul
Piercing so deeply inside my being

I can feel your breath on my sultry skin
My blood coursing through my veins
My body yearning for your touch
Beads of sweat roll down my body
As your eyes lose contact with mine

For a fleeting, drifting moment
We lived, in our own burning ecstasy
As our bodies became entwined
Quenching the desire that engulfed us
While lost in the moment of the gaze
