Time stood still

Love, does time really matter

 

 

Time stood still

 

A vision in the distance

as if my mind deceives

This watercolor fancy

of loveliness perceived

 

I dare not move a muscle

or fight against my will

A breath might break the silence

as if all time stood still

 

A crisp cool wind a’ blowing,

my heart does skip a beat

For but this man of simple means,

an angel comes to meet

 

I do not wish to startle,

nor cause an ounce of fear

If this is but a truthful sight,

I pray let her come near

 

The sun it is not moving,

no shadows formed to play

As this angelic vision,

walks to me this day

 

With open armed affection,

she takes me by the hand

And leads me to my fantasy,

then whispers of her plan

 

This day shall last forever,

no setting sun to fill

As if such joy was meant to be

and time it does stand still

A beautiful poem of great romance.

"This day shall last forever..." this is why memory is as great a gift as free will - a day with a loved one lasts forever. Truly lovely.

Nice work Jack. We occasionally have those moments that we would like preserve, I believe you have done that brilliantly in verse. I guess I better keep reading your work.

Sometimes a moment can last a lifetime, good or bad. This is such a wonderfully uplifting and hope filled poem. Beautiful! I hope it's from a personal perspective and time stands still in wonderment and awe of the feelings shared. Favorite ;)

Well there's my favorite reviewer. Thanks so much my friend. I just posted this poem a few minutes ago. Are you stalking me? :)>

Haha - your new poem was at the top of my news feed. I still have a long list of RRs but I saw the post and popped over to read. Not really in the writing mood these days and will hit the RRs when I'm ready. Just kinda blah...
Your poem is lovely. Had to comment even though my comments didn't do it justice. :)

Your comments are always a beautiful gift to me Dear Sera.
