That Look
our eyes catching
embracing
entwining
longing
lingering
not letting go
in such an embrace
only pre-lovers know
looking for answers
for clues
for questions
anything
the caress of that moment
is warm and perfection
all the sadder when it breaks
like a fine crystal bridge
shattering
disintegrating
precious
for the time it lasts
