"A Coffee Moment..."

A past written and yet they're always becoming still relevant - moments of life...ya know?

This IS a past write and yet they're always becoming still relevant somehow and when - more moments of life...ya know?  I get a bit thought-full at times... as I wander places and leave noseprints behind. 

 

"A Coffee Moment..."

So how are you 'dealin'
- with things and people now?

Are memories crowding close
unbidden...
unwanted.

How close are the walls
and the days
and the nights
and the hours-of-minutes
and minutes-of-hours,

and what's right
-- what's wrong

and why does it matter
now
and not then
or then and not now?

I knew a 'girl'
- don't we all? -
and her smile
radiant
...captivating
so very, very alive.

And her eyes
ALWAYS
held me
in ways she couldn't realize.

She's so pretty
behind her eyes
and sometimes silly
and thought-full
sometimes hope-full
and yet - sometimes not.

She's a woman
in ev'ry sense
and with ev'ry breath taken
I'm glad
she touched me...
ever
...at all.

Chris

Wonderful writing, Chris!

*sigh* there are those who 'touch' us, in all their unguarded humanity, in the most unexpected places, at the most improbable moment, and leave behind indelible ink that fills coffee moments for years and years ......

beautiful thought.

Nostalgic, with a bitter-sweetness about it that makes it perfect. I always enjoy your style, but this has to be one of my favorite poems of yours that I've read.

[Angel's Lady]

The most poignant of memories do seem to pop in uninvited, don't they...

A coffee moment indeed....

[Melati]

It touched my heart when I read this. I really enjoyed it very much. I was there, and had the same experienced. Those memories will never going to be gone.

This, I like. It's more of a musing than a poem, and it was refreshing.
I'm glad you met this girl.

Chris, I like your touch... and feel with your words; and how you form them together. I enjoyed reading this.
Thank you for the privilege.
(Still thinking about "The Price of Admission" ... but at least it has me thinking. And for that I'm thankful.)
