FACING

Your eyes. Digest me. Hold me still. Make my heart beat in sync with yours. Your blue sharpens my lens.

Your nose. Crinkles at grins. Sniffles with flowers. Grazes on my cheek...lingers.

Your Lips. Pucker with warmth. Silence me. Shatter me. Strip me.

Your Face. It's me I see. Takes me in.  Can't let it free. 

Your face still captivates me.
