Temporary

A moment of joy that passed in a jiffy,

And the beaming smile that didn't last long.

The ecstatic eyes that now shed tears,

And the elated heart which is now pounding little.

When everything appears like a fairy tale,

But the moment you touch, everything fades.

When you are on cloud nine with the touch of someone holding your hand.

But in a blink of eye, that angel becomes a stranger all again.

There is a storm of questions that inhabit my mind

Should we be grateful for the temporary stay?

Or grumble about the loved ones going away?

I wish the dream world becomes reality of my life

And every hand I hold, stays with me lifetime.

We get one go at this game called life
Then it’s into next life whatever that may be whatever you believe
I feel like the game of monopoly there’s only a few chance and get out of jail cards given
Yes make the most of each day
Love your poem

Me too dear poet.
"I wish the dream world becomes reality of my life

Us, who love to write. We remind ourselves. Once love was sweet and the sweet loved turned bitter. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

When was reading this a was trying to put a melody to this. I think this would make a lovely ballad. Maybe a piano piece would fit it.

The way you defined it adds a lot more beauty to the words here. Thanks for liking it :)

People come and go in our lives. Some stay for such a short time and others stay a lifetime. We learn something form every one of them and, in turn, we may have helped them learn something. That's the way life is. Always be grateful for the pleasure and love when it is presented. Yes, there is pain when our loved one departs but, the memories are a blessing regardless of how they departed. Thank you for sharing a sad but, lovely read. Temp

I believe one should appreciate the small, enjoyable things in life, a moment's kiss, a hand hold, a soft touch, a quick laugh, and not focus on the long run... so many things can happen in a long relationship.... be content with what's alive, and not "grumble" about the ones too old to appreciate life....
Best, B

Life is temporary but it is what we do with life that makes it seem worthwhile or a waste of time, instead ogpf grumbling and mumbling about the problems, try your best to find a solution. Happiness, is needed, sadness isn't., for as you say, life is temporary. Thank you for sharing!

Everything is temporary. Life is fleeting, that's why it is important to embrace all and live for the moment. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I enjoyed your poem.

indeed the only thing that is permanent in a way is change itself,therefore life is all about adapting and accepting those frequent changes but then sometimes it's hardly acceptable and makes us wounded from reality. a very nice depiction.

[Bliss in Sorrow]

Thanks, I am glad you liked it and I totally agree adapting and accepting is the only key to our happiness in situations. Appreciate your feedback :)
