Is This Heaven...

Allow me to experience you
For your true beauty escapes
Them so I’ll close my eyes
And inhale your spirit my
Hand to brush a rogue strand
From your face maybe graze
A cheek my head rests upon your
Chest heart to dance with yours mine
Yearn to sip the nectar hiding 
Behind your lips a kiss between 
Strangers no longer but I’ll settle
For a hand or even your foot
Splashing puddles your eyes hiding 
Twin five year olds behind shy
Lashes mimic the flow of your
Mother’s skirt I could gaze past
Forever into you cause time stops
When you smile so my pulse 
Drops and I cry pajama bottom 
Tears blanket covered fears warm 
My feet spelt S-o-u-l then tomorrow 
Awakens can I hold you again while
You sigh dreaming of gummy bears 
And first time bed breakfasts still
Can’t bear to stop myself so I’ll 
Continue to stare save me from them
The Fates float about my string with
Their shears it’s easy to see into me I’m
Sheer emotions on a sleeve my badges 
Of honour from battles lost long healed
Scars begin to ache tell me again why
Every morning can’t be like this with
My lips conversing with your neck the
Stories we tell they're flashbacks in 
Your eyes feel memories in your kiss
Tomorrow's minutes tick when you
Touch my face am I still alive or is this 
Heaven…
