Listening to every heart

It only took a moment

he glanced, she glanced
they found this person
in words
what words!
a gluing together
of emotion’s motion
a tidal ocean
of come and see
do and say
pulled them in to this sway….

it only took a moment

she stayed with him
in his mind
he could not leave
her thoughts entwined
and like ivy climbing vines
their words clung
to each in kind

it only took a moment

it was more than a dance
more than a rhapsody
she’d start the song
he’d write the melody
what collaboration
what a duo’s duet
the more they wrote
the more their thoughts met

it only took a moment

her inspiration would ring
his pen would bring
them together
~ forever ~
his feelings wrought
his words she sought
O emotions havoc caught

It only took a moment

he would draw in breath
she would loose a sigh
he would
feel the heat
she could
feel the beat
O the emotion
O vast ocean
O the commotion
when poets collide

Absolutely brilliant! I loved this one. Great word flow, imagery and form. Lovely.

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..

Kari love, now this is sheer brilliance, utterly perfectly beutifully written. Yes of course I love it, (now do I get to put my feet up? ) Absolutely stunning. And on the less is more theory, I should have just left a blank space love.

But then you wouldn't know I'd visited would you.  
Take care love

I love this one. . . a moment in time. . . in space. . . on another plane. . .

Excellent. . .
