A minute in paradise

 

My pulse raced,

 a smile stole its way across my lips,

it was the moment I waited for.

the last time she looked so bright,

I couldn’t remember.

The raindrops flowed freely down her face

and settled on her moonlit blouse.

Her face bespoke rapturous elation

Outshining God's surrounding creations

On opening her delicate mouth

One whispered word made to slip out

And soared across the enchanted night

upon my ears it made to land

With growing cheer upon its advent

My heart soared forth,

To embrace those little words

“you waited long?"

 air leapt out of my mouth,

Twirling and bowing to her charms,

and  congeniality.

With it came,  “not at all”,

Yet it had seemed like forever,

and forever I still could have waited.

To have that minute in paradise,

With my angel.
