It’s time already
The whole world stops to stare
My heart skips a beat
As you walk into the door of my heart
The pulse
It accelerates to keep me from dying from your elegance
My hands cringe as my soul clings to the rhythm
With you, the world neither spins nor twists and turns
The winds quieten as I feel your breath flow into mine
The paws
The pause increases my pulse as your paws scratch my hair
Our lips dance as all of Heaven kisses the face of the earth
I waited so long for this day, and it was worth the wait
Stop reading between the lines, there’s nothing here to see
The pores
Open your heart, close your eyes
Open the dance floor, up close let’s dance
Though we are very close, we are so open to each other
Though we’d close at some point, let’s leave it open
The pours
My heart glows in ways I can’t understand
It gushes forth with pure affection for you
I enjoy your company, I know you enjoy mine too
On a more serious note, I do not want this to end
The pause
Please press play, remind me of my busy schedules once more
Before I fall flat on my face and have you fill all of my mind
Let’s keep it like this, for love suffers at high speeds
We don’t have to press pause on either; we can have each other and with each other face the stress
I love you ❤️
This poem was inspired by the stresses of architecture school and the fun of living. The question is not whether we procrastinate or not. The question is, “what are we procrastinating?” We don’t have to “play” everything. We need to certainly pause at certain points because there are some stages in life we cannot skip. Learn to pause rather than “stop” because you’d wish you could “rewind” to relive those moments. Press forward!
