    One Moment In Time


    She didn't just walk towards me, she glided 
    It was like the air was alive, under her command 
    and it caressed her 
    It moved with her, it moved for her, it carried her 
    I was overwhelmed, overcome 
    my knees wanted to buckle 
    my heart began to race 
    I thought I was going to collapse
    There she was standing before me 
    I was frozen, paralyzed, in a trance, 
    then she smiled
    and there was silence... 
    I had never felt so comfortable 
    in my whole life 
    and in that one moment in time 
    I fell madly in love



    I moved in close barely touching her side 
    Tilted my head to a perfect 45 
    With my hand I gently touched her cheek 
    guiding her closer, just an inch away from me



    A soft wind blew as we looked in each other's eyes
    For a moment we stood motionless as if frozen in time 
    She took her hand and placed it on my chest 
    closed her eyes and took a deep breath



    If I were to live for all eternity 
    the only place I would want to be 
    is wrapped up within the arms of this angel by my side 
    in this special place where all my happiness lies



    The moment our lips touched it sent chills down my spine 
    I was overwhelmed by the images racing through my mind 
    I saw everything that ever happened in my life 
    and realized that every minute, had brought me to her side



    The stars all around 
    seemed to twinkle extra bright 
    and the moon sang a melody 
    that echoed through the night



    It was like the whole world 
    didn't exist anymore 
    We had entered our own universe 
    and it was waiting to be explored



    We were rocketing down
    an old country two lane
    in an uncharted land
    where the sky was the limit,
    and horizons didn't exist.
    Fate and Destiny
    were helium balloons in the wind
    tethered lightly to the bumper,
    we were headed for one destination....

    Forever

    I'm not used to reading other people's poems, but this is got to be the most impressive one I've ever read! And that's very humbling....for me being an inexperienced reader blatantly telling YOU ; wow a wonderfully written piece. Worth going thru 3 dozen poems to find!

    Thx - that is a wonderful compliment, I'm glad you enjoyed this piece

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
