I Held You

I held you, 

And the world stopped turning,

Maybe for a second or two

But I felt holy, holding you. 

I wonder if you felt it too. 

I wonder if the precious feeling that

Enchanted me, escaped through you. 

I held you,

And the day was right. 

What wrongs existed died today. 

Eclipses shifted, showed the sun

What happiness meant really. Say

You haven’t lived till I touched you. Say it

And the night will scream. For

It will fear our love. Together, we

Outgrow all sins and savagery.
