Wonderment

What is it
in the way you looked at me
your eyes glistening,
sensitive to the lens,
longing,
soft as a holy lake
caught unaware
in the hidden fold
of a virgin mountain?
What is it
in the way you moved
and caught your breath
as my hair
brushed your face?
Where was I
so wrapped up in myself
that I didn’t see you
till now?
I fell in love
with the perfect play
of your hands
touching my skin.
Forgive my boldness-
I am caught.
Give yourself to me.

Are you really here?
