He stares into her eyes
As their hands somehow meet,
Pulled to one another
By some unexplainable force
There is no Past no Future
Only Here and Now.
They spend their days
In a trance,
Not knowing who they meet
Or speak with,
Only aware of the bond
That only they two share.
For her it is his eyes,
Deep rich irises of brown.
When he looks at her with those eyes,
She melts.
It’s as if he’s looking into her soul,
As if he already knows everything
She’ll ever tell him.
She could get lost in his eyes.
For him it’s her vulnerability
She tries so hard to hide it.
But he sees it.
Beneath her cool hard exterior
Is a small girl waiting, wishing
For his touch.
And touch her he does.
With such caution,
As if he were touching a porcelain vase,
That might shatter into pieces.
Every part of her yearns for more.
He sets her skin afire with his touch.
She loves him.
For a moment as their lips touch
She loves him.
And he loves her.
As they sit and he holds her
They talk of the future
The one thing that threatens.
At any moment
Their precious universe
That revolves around just they
Will be thrust back into bitter reality
The cold and jealous world
Shall swallow their dreams.
So for the moment they ignore reality.
He holds her in his arms.
She kisses his neck.
They speak of sweet nothings
And hold on to one another.
As if trying to hold on
To their young and hapless love.

Interesting the way you capitalize Here, Now, Past, and Future, as though they are so important-I mean they certainly are and you brought that out in this...young and hapless or is it hopeless?
I like the words you used, once again, some of this Ive heard before (cliches maybe?) but there are also new things, very well written
