Touch

Shrewd eyes with lustrous twinkle
Frosty hair and petite wrinkles
A full moon beneath black sky
An ocean into which I’d voluntarily dive
 
 Conscious of your poise
I tenderly stepped
On grass.
Or rather, on myself.
 
Your charm wooed my spirit
Your wisdom put me into trance
Your voice robbed my heart
But I alone, stole your glance
 
 I was caught guilty though
You knew it all along, I am sure
With shrill eyes, an examination
Heart pummeled and I was near
 
Divinity echoed in my ear and
A cherubic palm rested on my hand
A minute longer and
I’d have fractured into sand
 
I simmered in ecstasy
A love-struck chaos
Stirred the butterflies
And let them out loose
 
Until now, you only touched me
In ways I couldn’t gauge.
Tonight, you touched me
And I know nothing else
But to eternally change.
