A Moment

It was but a moment that lingers in the depths of my mind. I had no pleasure of a name, words or gratuitous expounding of frivolous personal grandeur. Exasperated attempts to repress a smile as unconscious intangible forces played upon my chest forcing wanting breaths to be bequeathed to wisps’ of air freighting not but a match burned within a spark of natural relinquishment. Optical windows of realization losing focus as I strained to regain composure of current impairments of the most basic visual functions. Previously unearthed confusion speaking volumes of a mouth saying nothing but reaching for words written on blank dictionary pages. Smile meets smile, eye meets eye, spinning thoughts meet a beating heart with a torrent violent enough to lose the footing of life. Life’s rouge essence spiraling with unfathomable haste through this hastily assembled internal chaos. Sitting screaming in the deep recess of my minds darkest corner is the briefest of moments…
…when I first touched her hand.
