And so we pause.

If only for a moment.

Allowing the space between us to charge
full with the intimacy of distance.

We touch in ways unseen.

Our breath mingles in a sense
of mutual surrender -

It is the breath of only one.

And then our glance lingers soft...until our eyes,
growing hungry for each other -
fall hard to a heated
gaze.

It is time.

A new moment begins.

I really like the tension in this poem and the idea of "the intimacy of distance"- like when you really want to kiss someone but can only do it with tiny flickers of your eyes. I think thats what you mean by "touch in ways unseen". Works well and gives me a feeling of deja vu. Lovely - Issatou.

Breathtakingly beautiful.  A profound love that truly reaches the spiritual level and deeper still.

Magic... thank you.
