Woman Versus Self

One heartbeat holds a world of change
One glance a world of possibility
One touch has the power to tear down walls
One kiss to unlock doors better left sealed
Emotion is a tide
Ebbing and flowing by the pull of the moon
Carrying us away when perhaps it is better
To remain with our feet firmly planted on the shore
Your heartbeat
Your eyes catching mine
My emotions
The equation can no longer be simplified
Actions cause reactions
Choices have consequences
Hearts feel
The tide rolls in and out
Altering the shore irreversably
With each kiss of water
My heartbeat
My eyes not shifting from yours
Your ... is it fair to call desire an emotion?
A single spark in a forest of dead trees
Causes an inferno
The landscape forever changed
Even the simplest aspects of life
Sometimes become the most complicated
Every now and then
What should be simple is difficult
Our heartbeats
Our eyes locked
The future takes on a new perspective
