Tis just a glance
a flickering
a smile in gleam of eye
a sigh so soft
it’s often missed
unheard by passerby

What measure can I take
of words for this
attraction
this list will grow
will gain length
in poetic distraction

Tis not just one thing
one moment
that holds me to your side
but count them?
I cannot
for surely I have tried

Careful now Ms Divine ... some one might mistake you for a moth   *L*
You know I LOVE this one....very cool poem...
nothing like a pretty blue flame to inspire us  

Its not like you to say sorry,
I was waitin on a different story.
This time I'm mistaken ...
for handing you a heart worth breaking.

Ooooh, I like this, I like this!
"Tis just a glance"
Elegantly understated!
And there is something else that I can't quite but my finger on, but enjoying it whatever it is.
Will read this many times I'm sure.
Thank you, PdV

Laughing at JM here...perhaps we should start a club? U.M.---United Moths?

Your heart is gently earnest Sharon...and very evident in sincerity.

Now, anybody gotta light?
