CONTIGUOUS

Can I hold time still
Like a pen poised
In midair
Ink drying slowly
A drop of dreams
Frozen
At its writing tip?

I wish I could!
Then I would catch
Each glance, each breath,
Each moment of love
That branded my soul
Yours
And hold it forever
Like the night holds the dawn
Next to it
With just a sheet of air
To keep them apart
Touching
But not quite
In an almost kiss
Of endless ecstasy
Lip to lip
