PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

for a moment

in a trance

we lived a lifetime

we traveled to a distant shore

and made our home

in the shelter of a fervent longing

while the world remained at large

we blended and beaded our fertile,

woven thoughts

into a BRILLIANT tapestry of love's

mutual truths

we combed asside all previous heartache

and dissappointment

replacing the scissored scars and

jagged wounds

with unimaginable ideas of love and

tranquility

a true sense of mutual purpose had we

but then your stop came

and without a word or even another glance back

you got up and left me

the fantasy, lovely as it was

crashed and burned with the closing of the

train's doors after you

and I, in my own turn trudged home in the

cold, snow and emptiness of the evening

to silently go to my dark attic like dwelling

to eat a cheese sandwich with some soup

alone, yes

but warmed all the more by that unexpected

experience on the train

and after my prayers were said

I limply fell into a deep deep sleep

and awoke to the early dawn's immeasurable

pardon............
