Time and Love

The pocket of time that love creates
Unlike that of any other phenomenon,

That moment when the seconds synch
with the beats of your heart, racing

faster

faster

and faster

Even though the moment has stood still.


That entrancing contradiction where time stands still

yet races.


That bubble of time where all else fades away and the two of you sit inside

The rest of the world moves on around you

The world spins on its axis and you both stand still
simultaneously racing through time while the world races around you

Leaving you both trapped inside a blissful separation from which neither cares to escape


That impossible moment

when the two of you find each other

and time stands still.

then you look at the clock

and realize time's moved faster than it ever has.
