Euphoria In Security

Was it the way

Our fingertips danced

So delicately

Over the surface of

A sparkling new beginning

That filled me with such a hopeful

Euphoria?

Was it the way my heart

Quickened its beats

When I saw the way

You treated the soft colours

Of my veins

My heart

Like a water colour palette

Full

Of soft and beautiful intensity

While keeping so humble

With your brush

Your words

Your touch

That kept me feeling

So alive?

Was it the way

The sunlight slipped

Through your gentle exterior,

Filling your lungs

With a liquid gold

That would not drown you

But seep from your tongue

Into my brain

And slowly glow

Like an ember exposed

To a kind breath?

Was it that glow that you planted

So carefully inside of me

That allowed me to feel

Whole?
Was it the way

You took the darkness

Upon yourself

And only let it do so little

As to provide my world with contrast

And shade

But never gloom?

With you I am breathless

Yet never have I felt so

Strong

Perhaps it is not

A lack of oxygen

But an abundance

Of security.

Oh how wonderful it is

To feel the joy that comes

With watching all that can fall,

Fall around you,

Stars, leaves, rain,

And become obsolete,

Lost among every other

That has gone or will go.

Because when you breathe life

Into me

With your promises of a shining forever

And a diamond tomorrow

I feel no fear.

I am completely consumed,

By euphoria.
