Her thoughts set softly a palm
Upon the his beating heart
As fibrillations smoothed
And finally…opened the door
Their eyes filled with each other

Words melted into soft rain
Whispering in an autumn breeze
The unsure simmer of summer cooled
And finally…opened the heart

To weep the illusions away
In violet smoke the glade made mist
In afterglow that seemed timeless
Fawning to a melody serene
Their hearts filled with each other

And finally…opened their eyes

Mmmmm, lovely.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Marvelous!  

(oops an extra word in line two)

I absolutely love the alliteration in this line:

The unsure simmer of summer cooled

and the title? EXQUISITE!!!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Enough to wish it were an experience that I could hold onto. Complicatedly beautiful in a way that's not so simple.
