Capture

A moment in a photograph;

my lips with yours.

This moment; and

my heart, too.

I don’t want it.

A caterpillar in a jar.

Author's Note

This is another one that came from a one word prompt that I got into.

Beautifully confusing.. I'm not sure what to make of it, really, and I do so want to at least try and understand. A little help, please?

Not much to understand, really. I got the prompt "capture" and started making a list of things that word made me think of, and it developed into this. You could say that the primary thing is that this person (whoever she is) has given her heart to someone, but there's no happy ending, he or she is just trapped.

Thank you for the confirmation, Anais. Sadly, that is the sense that I got of it.. starts off happy and then wilting or stifled.

Sweet and simple, love it.

Thank you!

We treasure attachments that are the most personal of moments, knowing full well that our lives cascade from love to love, passion to passion, hobby to hobby, self to new self. That we are both self and other, is quite fun.

Gosh, even your comments are beautifully constructed!

I'm glad! I was so happy when I finally figured out how to end this poem; it took me ages!
