Time stands still

 

When our tentative lips touch

I want time to stand still

And let us revel

In the absolute thrill.

 

When you enfold me in a hot embrace

I want time to stand still

As we mesh together

To banish a lifetime of chills.

 

When your eyes find mine across the dining table

I want time to stand still

As I struggle to breath

Heart racing uphill.

 

When I am with you

Time races

Outpaces our love

Evaporates

As we embrace.

That’s why

I want time to stand still.
