that look of peace
your tranquil breath
               ing

I love that about you
      I hold my breath to listen to yours

and, if your eyes flick open-
I freeze:
a rabbit; a deer
in those sparkling blue headlights;

caught-

trapped-

...held in your unflinching gaze

which can only be arrested
by a kiss

it

melts me in your mouth;

from calm to burning in
        under six seconds

(excuse the car analogy).
