You Take Me
you take me
by surprise
every day
stunned
slow motion eyes
blinking
chest rising
falling
mouth open
jaw locked
breath
you take me
by surprise
every day
waking blinks
your face
eyes shut
mouth closed
breathing
sleeping
beside
first eye flickers
you take me
by surprise
every day
floored by
understanding
lacking
judgement
understanding
eyes
seeing
perfect flaw
you take me
by surprise
every day
coming to
a place we
call home
a space
that is our
that is
us defined
for now
you take me by surprise every day.
