the beauty of love

all encompassing

enfolding

potentially unending

stop, breathe



it just takes a second

that’s all it needs

love, lust, life

always one breath away



love is beauty

wrapped in the moments

of one’s life

if you don’t stop

to breathe

you miss it



breathe deep

long & slow

relish that moment

savour it

as it passes by



maybe

you get the chance

to breathe it again

and again
