You, with hands that soothe,
Eyes that gaze inside my soul,
and words that calm me down in a squall,
your presence stops time,
a certain peace
that cannot be found,
but in your mystic spell,
Soul that knows me well,
only for a brief moment,
minutes were like hours,
hours just like years,
an eternity of laughter
in a split second, be still,
life reveals things too soon,
or too late to take flight,
days are longer than decades,
lifetimes, no longer than nights,
as we said our last goodbyes,
and head for receding shores,
together, blurred shadows-
against closed doors.
