Calming light emerges,
Intertwined somewhere,
In the shine, the comfort of your eyes?
How peaceful, reassuring...
Just...so...
Beautiful.

Softly,
Lullabies drift...
Could it be?
Are you singing over me?

Falling...falling... I reach for...
The beauty?
The gentleness?
Everything...
Captured in a simple action...
You take my hand; and yet, my heart...

Breathing,
So alive...
What can we say now?
Silent.
Hesitation.
Breathe...breathe...
Perfection.

Freedom...

Laced in your sweet, ivory kiss...
Burning in your careful touch...
At last...
We're no longer hidden.

And we fly...
Away...
Away...
Into what?

...Possibly love? ~

I liked the content a lot, it was amazing :) The only suggestion I have is to be careful with your organization. The way you have it written right now forces the reader to take many pauses, and this can make a great piece seem monotonous. Otherwise, great job! :)

At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

A poem is never finished, only abandoned.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

this sounds a lot like a song. You should repost it under song lyrics. I love it. 5/5
