Assurance Words

Eyes bright

Brown

Big

Black lashes natural

But fashioned after

Doe in the spring

A wide eyed

Mesmerizing thing

That look

She gives

With

Lips full

Blush pink

Curved just so

Intrinsic bliss written

Quick

Across that smile

While

He hears his heartbeat

Quicken

Instincts bringing

The focus

Fully forward

In his mind

Feels the weight

Of time

As it slows

Shows

Itself

In his ache

In the way he fixes his gaze

Steady on the curve

Of her face

Fingers itching to trace

Lines across

Her skin

Thumb pressed

Gently

On those lips

Slowly sliding in

As she parts them

Her mouth invites

Him in

Teeth take the slightest bite

Of flesh

And lashes splash

Down against cheeks

Meek

Or so it seems

And she looks up

And her eyes mean

So many things

All undone

All at once

All the while

Her smile

Beguiles

This man in love

She is waiting

Patient

For time to restart

For her heart

To recharge

For the rest of her life

To be built

On the ashes

Of scars

And his hands

Are hard

Etched with the patience

Of long days

Offering promises

Of always

Hands that will create

From nothing

The something

That she craves

She sees

This

Through those eyes

Doe like

So bright

As they reflect

His heart 

His soul

His whole life

Lips full

Of words she won’t write

Blues ones

That ruin the hold, might

Threaten to slip

But she holds tight

Cause she sees

With those doe eyes

Something

So

Safe

In it’s own right

Something

He offers

Without the need to see

The future

Something intangible

Handled like words

At the tip

Of the tongue

Unsure of their name

But sure there is one

Some kind

Of magic

That has its roots

In his eyes

Witch hazel

Able

To cure

Stable and sure

She sees some notion of truth

And she hopes

For the first time

She’ll be ready

And open

To do 

To take 

Even the smallest of steps

To manage the ravage 

That breaks placed 

On all the parts 

He makes 

Feel soft 

Doe eyes eager to leave 

The world that was 

And be lost 

In the welcoming warmth 

That he offers 

Softer, softer, softer 

The sounds of her heart 

As it slowly stills

He fills 

The space with sparks

Electric

Charged

Air rushes into lungs 

Words pushing off her tongue

Some 

Semblance of stunned 

Eyes wide, headlights 

As the realization 

Comes

We can be us 

This won't be just 

Another dark day 

Another false play

At trust

This can be anything 

Everything 

Endlessly 

Love
