There and then


from the ABC set Dust

I saw you that day
I knew it was you...
There.
I held your hand
and felt your heart.
Instantly,
I asked "Where
are you going?"; you said
"Tibet"
and touched my soul...
Quietly I lent forward
Into you ... I fell
Completely.
Eyes locked in inner peace,
Exchanging hearts
in each other's hand.
There...
My lips rested on your cheek,
gently inhaling a dream,
eyes closed; Heavenly soft
infusions of wamth within.
A new world opened
We smiled...
Entered in.
There.
We stared...
into each other.
Knowingly...
We shared a moment,
a brief eternity...
There.
And then
I watched you leave
as our life began..

Lovely piece firebird, you paint a picture of tranquility but at the same time strong emotions lie just below the surface.

This is just lovely, love these lines,

"My lips rested on your cheek,
gently inhaling a dream,"

captures a heartbreaking moment, beautifully.

I agree so much with shoe and kheldar, Firebird. A gentle but strong poem that touched my heart.
