Time Stands Still

Folder: 
Flashback Fridays

Time stands still,
as I touch your hair,
caress your skin,
and feel your heart
beating next to mine.
Only,
with each beat,
with every breath,
you drift further
from me, and
closer to
another.

As I read this, my heart and

As I read this, my heart and mind went back 20+ years when my boys were babies. Oh how you love them and they are all yours. There whole exsitance depends on you, but as they grow you know that they will replace the love they have for you with someone else. I remember my oldest saying, "Mama, her hair is sooo soft" It is so bitter sweet to love. They will always be my babies. This may not be the way you meant for this to be taken, but it blessed me to think of that simple, unconditional love that I have for my boys.

One of the great things about

One of the great things about poetry is that the writer has one thing in mind, but every reader brings their own thoughts and experiences to the poem, and when the two don't meet, but create something new, that's truly art ;-)

Thanks!

I try to distill my poems down to the fewest possible words but maximum impact. I think t worked here.

Relation.

Such a lugubrious ending.

I really love this poem.
Right now I can relate to it.
So it struck home with me.
Except my time doesn't stand still.
It's the passing of time that I fear the most.

This was a satisfying read to me.
A reminder.
Thank you for that.

This reminds me how hard it

This reminds me how hard it is
Knowing is a terrible burden
Loving someone out of your life is never easy

wow

This piece in particular struck me. I enjoy the twist, the beginning in its closeness and the stab that just leaps out at you. I have a few of those myself. It really sucks when the reality is just as twisted.. the words are just so real.. I know these words.. these feelings.. quite well.. quite recent.. As Poppy stated.. you are a great addition to our little community! I look forward to reading more of your work! Thank you for sharing!

Surprise ending!

Wow! I didn't see that ending coming! A good poem, short, to the point and surprising at the end. You might be interested to read my poem 3.3077 minutes ahead. It's also about time and how it can mess with relationships :-)

And Rum!
