Here and Now

 

 

We stand, holding our place in time
like not much else matters except

your soft, weary nods against
my shoulder and a sigh.

We are a microcosm
swearing that all else

revolves around us,

at least for a few

moments as dawn

illuminates the

perfect kiss.

    well now...

    i have to admit that your poetic voice becomes stronger and more original with every one of your writes.
    and i also admit that i like this piece very much and wish i could've written something as perfect

    thanks for this great entry

    I agree... this is really a beautiful poem, Michael. Something so very authentic, so very personal, so very soft about this poem - but that is how i've come to know your poetry and your voice.

    I really liked this one...soon I'll be standing like this too!! Thank you for this beautiful entry.
