You’ll Be Here

If I can only hold,
dream another moment
you’ll be here

but a moment
can be
days
a lifetime

will it be
the same
then

that
almost-startled
turn, the
hurrysteps

arms full
of
anticipation

no more
seconds
to wait –

will it, can it?
will we whirl
into each other
swept like leaves
to wind, drawn
helpless
up into the draft
of our own fire?

but a moment can
be days, a day pass
quickly as a wrensong
and as sweet

and if I can hold
a moment
and another

lifetime
of suspending

you’ll be
here

As long as it's with someone you love it'll be wondrous.

How wistful and romantic this is, especially loved:

will we whirl
into each other
swept like leaves
to wind, drawn
helpless
up into the draft
of our own fire?

Sweet as the song of a sparrow...
Coos like the voice of a dove...
Haunting as the call of a loon...
Ratleader's a man in love!

That feeling is indeed unforgettable -- what I call "a brief infinity". I agree with Corinne -- that's my favorite passage as well.

Nice work!

I read this earlier... but the werk monster was holding me captive... What it didn't know was how much pleasure another reading would give. *S* For once, I'm grateful to it. *S*

but a moment

will it, can it?
will we whirl
into each other
swept like leaves
to wind, drawn
helpless
up into the draft
of our own fire?

I have to ditto Marge...this is breathlessly beautiful. *S* And it's not quite fair being breathless when encountering EA's response... LOL
You excel whatever style you choose, my friend... but no one writes romance better. *S* Superb!!
