I am once again, whole. by pattybuns_hpf
Author's Notes:
New Version! R&R!

My heart beating;
my face blushing;
it took my breath away.
My emotions overflowing;
my body trembling;
it took my confidence away.

We stood there alone but apart,
I, staring at him,
deep in his hazel eyes,
there was something there,
Something I could not understand;
and I wanted to know.

Searching for meaning,
I stared curiously upon his face.
My mind was aching for answers
and I longed to ask him,
but something stopped me
and suddenly I stared at my feet.

He took a step and another
with the moon shining brightly above;
It followed his gentle footsteps
And closer he came to me.
I could feel his breath
as his hand reached my chin,
and gently forced me to look up.

I stared into his eyes again,
my mind ceasing its flowing thoughts.
I said nothing,
But a short gasp that left my lips.
I knew there was more to this,
But I did not what it was.

He studied my face,
As though I was a creature of interest.
I could not help but feel captivated.
Then, he leaned ever more closely;
I knew now, I knew now
and the world went silent.

Tall beech trees danced around us,
While the wind slithered past.
This was real to believe,
for every satisfying kiss,
Led to a new beginning.
And I felt myself quiver
with the longing experience.

In the end
our hands were held together,
three small words gluing them.
I could never leave his side now
for he led me away, far away,
Out of the lonely darkness.

My heart beats;
my face blushed;
it brought back my breath.
My emotions overflowed;
my body trembled;
it brought back my confidence.

I am once again, whole.
End Notes:
[19/01/2011] I'm very happy with this new version. Having read the old version again, I decided to edit it and see if it improves and I think it did. And so, I love it!

Anywho, I want to say that this poem had inspired me to write many, many poems and I hope someday I will write another for a favourite ship pairing or character of mine. Or maybe just some character that interests me. - Patty x
