By The Bay: A Poem of Forgotten Love
In San Francisco Bay by Moondustwriter
They were magnetized
by a timeless embrace
for fractions of a moment
*
his eyes just as entrancing
hers glistened like diamonds
energy surged thru the pair
*
a single silhouette
caught by the light
reflected on the bay
*
for that brief moment
transferred back
to a distant time and place
*
young love was all
that entered their minds
as they danced beneath the stars
*
the next instant they awakened
to wisps of fog
intertwined in their smiles
****************
Thank you Ingorr for the perfect picture

lovely read!..i am so glad i joined you here ..it is so what i needed and i am happy to be around such talented poets.
Leslie, two things that strike me about this poem are the setting and the element of time, especially the latter because the meaning seems both momentary as well as timeless.
ReplyDeletecheers :)
Awww... that was so beautifully romantic!
ReplyDeleteAnd like Adam says, momentary and timeless! That one moment seemingly making time stop, and yet when past, it seems so short :)
This was a dear and lovely piece... very soothing to the heart and calming to the mind.. Loved it!
