Free Fall

Across the hall

A frozen glance

That,

I still can recall.

Back of my mind

A hidden smile

That,

I did not care

To show at all

Toes curled,

Fingers twitched

In nervous fist

All so fast

All so subtle

That,

I noticed not,

My breath was

Stalled

To be touched

By his eyes

Burning

Skin with desire

Hold it close

In the heart

Eternity

or,

Nothing at all

Living,

Those moments

Again and again

Every fraction

Of every second

As

I recall

The stillness

And the free fall
