Panthera Tardus

The way you open up
and are free when drunk
The heavy breaths you take
anxiously, but in control
The notoriety in your smile
with a steady stubbornness
That ambitious streak
Strong, almost cruel
The warmth in your eyes
Deceptive, mysterious
I like knowing you, you.

Sometimes I feel you
passing by, your odour
Or imagine you walking
ahead, just turning in time
to give that sleepy eyed smile
Wishing that in time
we share what
means something to us
Not just the usual, stereotypical,
hollow love, but
Raw, carefree, strong and passionate
Just like the first kiss...

Travelers in Time

A moment

Is all it'll need

To breakfree 

From these shackles

To let this river flow

Release the dams

That bind it

Leash it

Control it

A moment 

Of unfiltered 

Wholesome

Expression

Laying it all out

A tiny flicker of 

Lasting certainty

Among the many,

Fading,

In this stream

Of hundreds, millions

Will be the one

That'll matter

One in infinite

Encompassing

Eternity

That moment

Will be ours

You, me

Enough to last 

A lifetime

Before we part

A pathway

To another realm

a space beyond this world

Transcending the boundaries

Away from this hustle, tick tock

Not biding by the clock

A world

That resonates 

With the soul

Spiritual, emotional, intellectual

Beyond our

Read

A fleeting glance

Of truth

Will that be enough

To make that moment

The one?
