Stolen Second


A second of your life
Your eyes,
Your lips curved in elusive smile,
You hair,
The sweater that you wear...
It's there
Skillfulness of a photographer.
A picture,
Little paper square that captures
A single moment of your life.

All captured but your thoughts...
Even your inner beauty's caught.
That precious light that shines
From piece of paper through your eyes.

A second of your life...
That look,
So powerful, my breath it nearly took.
The charm,
The mighty strength of manly arm...
My love,
What was it you were thinking of?
That day
I bet you never figured that someday
I'd steal this single moment of your life.

And what will you do now with that single moment?  We all wonder. . .

Excellent. . .

Hehe... If I could steal a second in that way...
No, I just stole the photo...
