Typical

 

Take my hand….

“Naw, I  can’t start it like that”

“Everyone starts their poems like that”

Maybe I can tell you to embrace my protection

And I can assure you I will gentle grasp your palm

Close your eyes and open your ears, listen, its our song

 

Let’s not dance around the moment

Let’s dance for a moment

For 3 minutes of eternity

My body and soul

Is yearning for the

Space between us to close

 

 Our eyes lock as our minds throw away the key

Our noses touch as a prelude to the kiss

In a crowded room it is just you and me

I would trade every happy moment in my life to finish this

 

 

Love is the subject specified by most poets today

But most poets don’t describe this love in a way

That could turn a man straight, when he was once gay

Just so he could try and find what I’ve found in you

So it’s true

I fell in love

Now I am out of love

And searching for something new

To give you

"the space between us to close"
a good line i think everyone has felt at some point.

beautiful words my friend. Written only by someone who has truely experienced the depth of love.

Let's dance for a moment

For 3 minutes of eternity

My body and soul

Is yearning for the

Space between us to close


these lines made me speak out loud "wow!" great...

This is really touching . . . it touched my heart and the last lines really grabbed it tight . . .

"I fell in love

Now I am out of love

And searching for something new

To give you"

Love is the poet's muse . . . that, and pain, passion . . .

Such a list, without and end.

You have crafted a gentle masterpiece, here.

Only one suggestion . . .

"Space between us to close"

I'm thinking maybe "too" might work better.

Other than that . . .

brilliant!
