Beyond Stolen Moments

My heart goes lively
when our visions lock

I feel a sensation
in my fingers
moving back and forth
through my heart

A lovely feeling
of finding us at ease
with silence,
without a single word

I still adore
the moments of transition
when your smile disappears
and reappears
on a glowing screen

Those moments—
like a picturesque lake
in still quietness,
never fail to
touch me quite deeply

I don't want our moments
to feel stolen anymore

I want them to feel
intentional,
chosen,
and softly kept between us
