I Fell in Love

I fell in love

 

As I watched your hands move across the paper

Taking notes and transferring your thoughts to words

I found myself entranced by the simplest movements in your fingers

By the knot in your jawline as you focused so deeply

 

I fell in love

 

As I watched you smile

When I told you of the emotions inside my heart

I found myself entranced by the curl of your lips

By the warmth of your arms as they encircled me

 

I fell in love

 

As I watched your eyes grow dark

When you shared your troubles and demands of the world

I found myself entranced by the furrow in your brow

By the tears that threatened to spill over your cheeks

 

I fell in love

 

As I heard your heart wrenching sobs

Cracking and sharp in their intensity

I found myself entranced by the anguish in your face

By the way your body curled into that of a child

 

I fell in love

 

As I heard your voice sing out a song

Strong and clean and true in its’ tune

I found myself entranced by the way your chest moved

By your lips as they formed the sweetest of words

 

I fell in love

 

As I heard you laugh at me over days and weeks

Finding my humor worthy of your joy

I found myself entranced by the length of your eyelashes

By the way your nose scrunched as your laughter tumbled over me

 

I fell in love

 

As I felt your fingers trace my lips

Brushing against them with all the force of a butterfly’s wing

I found myself entranced by your rough fingertips

By the look of lust and desire in your eyes

 

I fell in love

 

As I felt your breath against my ear

Whispering your passions and love as I trembled

I found myself entranced by the feel of your hair in my hands

By the heat of your skin against mine

 

I fell in love

 

As I felt you open your soul

Allowing me into the precious sanctuary of your heart

I found myself entranced by the beautiful chaos

By the perfection I found in you

 

I fell in love

I love reading about love. So often our poetry is written about heartbreak, thank you for writing about the good parts, too.
