Open Lotus

As I picked my head up to see before me, instantly magnetic my eyes fixed on you
As if the world became invisible and there were only us two.

The moment stood still and the seconds ran slow and my legs no longer existed.
My breathing I could here clearly between my ears and my heart beat shifted

Only the sight before my heart could function well enough to see your smile.
As you locked eyes with me, each footstep felt like it lasted for years.
The mystery of you, weighed heavy on all of my fears that…

Love stood before me… and I was without response. Without courage to muster a single word while ashamed of my demure. Time passed and each eye to eye experience captivated the essence of everything my imagination never fathomed before.

Beyond dreams where the sun meets the moon, where the stars meet the floor and their twilight spills like feelings from my heart while dust turns to light and darkness to bright and with you in my sight…

I implode. All the air around me takes my breath away and twirls me in circles. My nerves dance to the sound of your silence as you look back at me weakening my knees so they dare not approach you.

How do I… How do I… How do I speak to a beauty so intrinsic that I feel is above me, to a beauty more beautiful than I deserve. How do I introduce your world to mine without falling out of the sky failing to parachute to your expectations.

And then there was time. Space between us became words and the thrill of your smile brought me closer to your theart. Indeed I was shackled by the portion of my disbelief that I could be a part…

A part of your completion. A part of your whole, a fraction of you. How could I amount to your math. How do I add up to love. How do I divide the distance between the tips of our toes, and the tips of our tongues.

How can I lessen an inch so that I may be in your presence? How can I bend time so that noon kisses midnight and the other 22 hours wrap us in warm days and special nights. How can I complete a sentence, without the taste of your name leaving my tongue and losing your essence.n

You are my revolution, the repudiation of all of my governed thoughts. No longer does structure exist when I crumble over you. You tear down my walls and march to the center of my heart. You open my inner most doors only to find my core belief is you. You make colors come to life and showed me how the moon could be red and the sun could be blue.

You inspire rainbows that paint the sky with dreams of tomorrow, you taught me tomorrow’s dreams are dreams we can follow, how the stars are in arm’s reach, and the clouds rest beneath our feet. You are the open lotus flower, you bloom love and walk on water.
