Lost in a moment

Acoustic whispers sweet in song
play my sad ears to a tender peace
His finger move in a loving rhythm
while caressing my lower back
The air is heavy with the rain
left over from a passing storm
The sky still screams in lightning
I pinch myself and look out at the water
The birds are in a pretend natural environment
The voices turn blurry with fog
disintegrating in the humid distance
I feel my thick long hair dancing wearily
at the will of a random muggy wind
As my teary eyes float towards the dim horizon
I finally lose myself to a cry
only to find a here so far-away from today
Once I arrived, I didn't know
how I ever walked this far
He would watch me move silently
and check in on a truth hidden in my smile
as I took brave steps towards his burden hug
Nice to meet you, he stared
Lost in the moment gone off track
A man new in depth and weight
He reads my handwritten poetry
Wonders why the sentences tilt lower
as they explore the paper and lengthen
all over expressed in secrets
I want him to know I'm not here to ask
or explain or understand
Only to allow myself to feel
To believe aware of the gaps and leaps
Missing inside my broken heart
He stands up straight and gently weeps
I feel a point breaking
and I gather the woman I am meant to be
For him not to bleed
in our unexplored world of lovers
For him not to turn his back on a true friend
So I can always hold the clear promise
of the strength of a steel soul
left over in the melody living inside me
