Just that.

The sound was switched off
to my  imagination 
but you sauntered in that cascade silk of light
with sure steps,touching this,
tousling your hair, touching that
resplendent. Seductive in the setting.

You knew I was watching the sun dance
through the shadows
causing your smile
and mischief to glow brighter.

It was when you leaned over the balcony
my pulse raced with fear
and my heart stopped racing anymore.

Its only when you switched the sound back on
did I realise 
your heart was also beating
between 'the agony and the ecstasy'
of the distance between us.

I take a  step forward.

I love it but Im kind of confused does the title of your poem correspond with your poem because I was wondering where other then that I love the poem. It just confused me for a little bit

yes, the title deals with the poem. It is an oblique view of lady taking a picture of herself and sending it over. Thanks.

That is some sweet writing. :)

"I take a step forward"

Beautiful ending, or beginning perhaps?
