Frozen Moments

CATEGORY

romance

Time being relative,

I am frozen in this moment,

unaware of my surroundings completely.

I am zoned in;

peripherally blinded,

tuned to her feminine frequency.

Her melodious inflections

excite me when she speaks to me

in sultry exhalations;

caressing my eardrums

with loving affirmations

I’ve yearned so long to hear from

her perfectly shaped lips.

A gentle nuzzle of my temple

brings the hair of my forearms

to attention on goose pimples.

My mind’s being seduced

in this dark restaurant booth.

Virtuoso fingers play my vertebrae

as sweet vermouth

relaxes us so much

the maître d summons a cab.

Beneath the table cloth

reconnaissance of things

we both must have

is under way –

our eyes half-closed

and glazed as we explore

until the sounding of a taxi’s horn

makes us rush for the door

in heightened anticipation.

Abruptly stopping, she returns

B-lining for our booth

with her face full of concern.

I watch her as she nurturing-ly

recovers from the floor

the single rose I gave her earlier.

I could not want this woman more

than I do now

inside this

frozen moment.
