When my fingers feel numb,

My eyes twitch in ruby ,

How will I feel your touch

As my heart seems to pump slowly ?

If I could hold your hand forever ,

a soul touch in my mind,

a divine intervention,

will you let go once we see the river?

I blink twice.

I blink again, and I’m back to your reality.

But then I begin to breathe,

And that’s when I’m still chained.

All the letters in the world could never form

to say what the pictures in my mind

want to spell out to you.

Rotate till the camera runs out of film,

each image that reflects

a different shade of your beauty

whenever my eyes lay on you.
