Isolating this instance
Carving away the pain that surrounds it 
Trimming around the edges of desolation 
I carry this moment in my hands

I permitted myself to feel;
The warmth of your body
The softness of your touch 
The steady beating of your heart

There was simplicity,
When you kissed my forehead
There was affinity,
When you held my face in your hands

For a fleeting fragment of time,
I burrowed in your illuminated caress
I basked in your bright embrace
I breathed in your incandescent kisses

A weightless bubble of profound connection
Plucked from the ashes of contention
An unforgettable moment in time
When our shared light was sublime
