Thaw

The potential of this moment

With your gaze locked on mine

Drifts around along and through me

Like a psychic river wild

Unstoppable, eroding me

As your smile starts a crack

That manifests as buckling

In my shaking knees

Is this what they mean

When they talk of stopping time

Feeling everything in now

I’m focused on the well of you

The spring that starts the flow

The summer thaw of my winter soul

All because of you somehow
