PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

two half faces ponder

as each stares back at me in

quite a different light

I am mesmerized by their obvious

opposing opinions

you can not imagine the crazy fluttering

in my heart

I am enthralled by the beauty in not only

the prince

yet his counter part the beast

a dream has actually come to unbelievable light

though split before me by a once absorbed agony

'tis a pity

though the soul remains ever in tact

and even more so perfect tonight

the expectant quivering will not stop

my breath catches on the impossibility of the

moment

he thinks its revoltion that labors my breath

how so very sad

that a brutal misunderstanding has whisked away

my damaged prince

his hopeful return marks the true beginning to my

having lived

his agony and love I take on as my own

ever remorseful

I see the immediate necessity in his abrupt

departure

I have touched love

my lungs burn for more air

the realization of the moment is overwhelming

I am drawn into the purity of my own feelings

and it is enough

even if his love is physically lost to me

from this day on

forever never before seemed quite so long

as it did at the very instant

when our lips touched

thank you my enigmatic stranger

thank you for what it is

you do not know that you have given me some

respite from my lonely past

as well as your perfect yet untouched essence

such fiery spirit knows no bounds

I will cherish this knowledge all the days of

my life

and I will die happy having loved you

even if only from afar..................
