[untitled]

 

For a fleeting moment, spot in time

an ache aches; for an arm of mine, to

reach just once around my shoulder.

Granting  permission to lean in gently

against a whole heart to break this breaking

right though the middle where it never mends.

wow, this is heartbreak happening right before the readers eyes in the moment and the meotional attachment latches on instantly to draw conviction and state what becomes of a heart tearing in two ,
I loved the word play that structures the form which brings your words to a place
that touches the heart, beautifully done, you did an excellent job,

oh such an achingly profound moment you have captured here - that precise moment of hurt - when it is at its keenest pain.. there is so much contained within that small pause of time, and within this poem, that defy description, yet you have displayed them all here..

tremendous!
