there's a moment
you were destined to embrace.
On that day of a thousand tomorrows
I shall remember
your face.
With the blossom
of your lovely countenance
forever in my head
it opened my heart
and revived the man
I thought was dead.
They say that love is an intangible
but now
I could see
the very essence
of why humanity
has the potential to be free.
Of course
beauty is often fleeting
in the blink of an eye.
So I must cherish your aura
until the day
I die
as I pick up a brush
and linger
awhile
and breathlessly I paint
my mind
with your smile.
