Moments End

In glance of whim to heightened cheek
A spark or flash, I do not know
But bright are eyes that see-of me
Compelled to look again I must

If time could slow to moments end
And lengthen stare, to endless time
A taste of this, in dare, I look again
Of hope, to catch her glance of me

The flash of green, from pearled skin
Deep those eyes, Oh wish, I pray for me
'Tis I they seek, or dream I am in sleep
But pain of pinch, awake I surely am

Oh crest of lips, to shine in sweetened smile
A skip of beat, falters heart, like breath I hold
In stare I fall, for what of time I do not know
Eternity, so long, as eyes do kiss at moments end.

But, blink and all but moments end is gone.

James Parker Haley  Aug 3, 2000

oh my my my...
permission to swoon my sweet poet friend??
P-man this is so very tender and soft..
longing laced with subtle sensuality..
very nice indeed

In glance of whim to heightened cheek
A spark or flash, I do not know
But bright are eyes that see-of me
Compelled to look again I must

If time could slow to moments end
And lengthen stare, to endless time
A taste of this, in dare, I look again
Of hope, to catch her glance of me
=====================
Oh crest of lips, to shine in sweetened smile
A beat, or skip, falters heart, like breath I hold
=================
oh yea...big ole swoon and a *sigh* too  
perfect parker...poetically perfect
