while time will stay

somewhere in the distant nearness
he steps in.
she feels him,
and looks out toward his presence.
he seeks her...
in an instant they connect.
the room shuffles around them
making space suddenly available--
but not between them.
she smiles, "its late...
what are you doing here?"
"i think i've grown accustomed to you,"
answers he.
her smile broadens
as she tries not to giggle like a school girl.
he came just to meet her here,
     before sleep...
she wonders, just where did he come from...
and he, lest he forgets,
needs to hear her voice,
so surprises her with his--
but time does not lend itself for long;
too soon they part
with a quiet goodnite,
and a kiss--
a dream.
they are only in a dream...
their hands just miss,
but they continue to reach;
puppets of loves great divide.
and they continue on distant smiles--
while time will stay...

Dee, love this is far, far too good, how am I supposed to say, "yes very nice piece" and then move on. Can't you just once, to give my superlatives a break, come up with something that's not stunning. No I know you couldn't it's like me being quite and restrained I suppose. Not in our natures, so which superlative do you want? Will any one do? In that case, I'll rummage around and see what I can find. Ahh here's one, this is quite simply indisputably brilliant!
Take care kid

You have penned many beauties that I have read but this one shines above them all. I really enjoyed this one tremendously in not only it's wonderful flow but in the feeling I was left with after reading it.
