The Plunge (edited)

Our pulses tremble under our flannel shirts
And fleece vests. My numb fingers squeeze his.
“Have I ever told you you’re beautiful?”
His pupils deep sea blue, jawbone stone sharp.
I feel my cheeks flush pink. “Stay here with me,
Where prisons are Far and the sea is near.” I feel his
Fingers grasp mine as he lowers to one knee,
 “I wish I could silence the ticking of the clock,
So this moment with you would become infinite”.
The crisp smell of fresh rain fills my lungs,
As little drops of rain leave freckles on the ground around us.
One lands on his sleeve, another on my nose.
Gently, he kisses the droplet away and
Captures me in his embrace. I have found my

Love.
