She opened her eyes slowly for the light of the day was blinding her. Her long black eyelashes fluttered like a kingfisher's wings for a moment. As if overcome by an explosion of confidence she ripped her eyes wide open. Of such power was her gaze that the world did not define her, but she defined the world.
Every leaf of every tree gained a unique set of veins and thickness, every stone its own weight and texture. The rivers started flowing in patterns, the winds influenced each other according to intricate laws of logic. Every molecule, atom and quartz connected, cooperated, interplayed, joined and merged, created networks and relationships with each other.
Reality started moving according to a wonderfully scripted choreography, a symphony of all things intermingling.
Then her gaze fell upon him and with it reality was ripped in two - incomprehensible and confusing.

That is a beautiful use of simile and imagery. There is a certain harmony in how the words are put together. Part of craft is in knowing which words complement each other when you're reading them aloud. Have you written any poetry?
I haven't so far but I was intending to do some Haikus one of these days.
Oh, I liked the clever use of the title. Nice work.
I'm glad you got it :)
