Sent Messages... The Moments We Share


Fleeting moments, every day or two,
are precious the interludes I share with you.
Clandestine encounters, a voice in the distance
determined, tenacious, resolute persistence.

A ransom, a treasure, a chest of gold
are inadequate descriptions of that which I hold.
Wealth, good fortune, none dare compare
to the seconds, the minutes, the hours we share.

Chitchat exchanges, hours of chatter
searching and probing, we examine each matter.
Cerebral arousal, two spirits in longing
first searching, then finding a need for belonging.

Long days, lengthy nights … hard to get through,
when all that I have are these moments with you.
Love is the fuel, this match has ignited
together one-day, will two souls be united?

First in the morning, then throughout the night
these thoughts are the vehicles of fancy and flight.
Pensive conjecture my constant companion
my heart unshackled, inhibition abandoned.

Love’s funny, amusing, it invades every hour
from the seed, to a sprout, to the blossoming flower.
The moments we share bring us closer together
this bond, the amalgam, will fuse two forever.

    I came back to this beautiful write...
    Realize the imaginary feeling it shows.
    It's not real longing of two... Just very strong yearning of having a love and be loved.
    I'm trying to be realistic...
    It makes me cry for some reason today.
    Reality is not as romantic as you depict in the poem.
    They both try to run away from boring reality and have a fan of dreaming about each other.
    What I find very sad in this brilliant poem - dream never will come true...I know you think the same.
