You suspend me
between two quick breaths
long enough enough for me to see
myself break out of my shell
and drink in
the light from your eyes
one soulful sip at a time
you seem so pleased with yourself
a mischievous smile playing
at the corner of those full, red lips
you are going to be the death of me
but I wouldn’t die any other way
so let’s seal this moment with a kiss
that will gently slip us into eternity
