If the day quickly faded
into the stillness
of darkest night,
If the sable sky invited
the stars and moon
to decorate with
their brilliance,
Then our voices
would become hushed
at the splendour,
My heart would
thump wordless messages
to yours,
You would turn your
perfect face
in tilt towards
mine
And in this space
in this instant,
I would see heaven
in your
eyes.

As I was browsing through your poetry, I found this, and, of course, had to re-read it again! It is gorgeous--can't believe I didn't respond. What a joy it is to read again!

Chris, I'm pleased that Miscee brought this poem back into the light of day! I had missed this beauty from your poetic heart!

I see a bit of heaven in your loving words!
