A turning wheel, a flashing light.
A short-lived day, eternal night.
A moment here but who knows when
the lightning will return again.
When first we met, remember well;
the sound, the sight, the touch, the smell.
A world of flesh, which once was stone.
Together one, no more alone.
But Oh, the moving finger writes
and nightfall dims the shining lights.
We met and loved and, though we part,
I find your lightning in my heart.

Beautifully written and the meter is perfect! I have always found lightning and thunder both passionate and romantic, so I love the way it is worked into your poem here. Again, excellent meter. The whole thing flows so beautifully. Thanks for entering.
