Borrowed Heaven (apologies to The Corrs)

Stares of awestruck eyes
Unbelieving, dazed
Of the presence of a beloved
Mind reeling in attempting
to freeze the sweetness of a smile

Pulses race
Nervous laughter erupts
Hands meet and tightly squeeze for assurance
Skin tingles, body shivers from
the undeniable chemistry

A kiss and a sigh
Of wanting more
Crushing hugs and gentle whispers
envelop the lonely soul
Traces of tears behind the mask...

Gripping the edge
Clawing at empty air
Resisting hasty exits
Of sad goodbyes
Time slips away...
