One Last Hope

Secured every minute in your presence
As you placed your hand in mine
Pointed out the heavens pouring forth
The long gone fairy tales untold
Swift, unexpected kisses, you caught me off-guard
Did you get a hint of my blinded love?
Or did you assume it to be mere trifle?

Away you go, now
And my heart cracks with every second that passes
One last embrace to imprint the feeling
Holding you secure in my arms
Away from the tempting eyes of the world

One last glimpse of the face
That glittered with all the happiness in the world
Infectious laughter, you used it well
A last this
A last that
A last everything that was you
But you are leaving, and it remains true
Should I mention to whom my heart belongs
Or would you assume it too?
One last this
One last that
One last hope to have my heart intact.

Really good job on this. You give such vivid detail of your heartfelt desires.

Away you go, now
And my heart cracks with every second that passes
One last embrace to imprint the feeling
Holding you secure in my arms
Away from the tempting eyes of the world

This is just one of my favorite stanzas. Great poem.

[Leslie Philibert]

Good poem.I like poems that transport emotion without being pretensious or full of
obscure imagery.It`s a good poem from somehow who works with literature.
Love the last three lines.

oooh this was good. It was other-worldly...poetic surrealism that only a beautiful mind could penn.

[Helen Woodward]

I found this to be extremely mature in thought and presentation, this is my first trip to your profile and I am gobsmacked by this piece. 'One last this and one last that' rings so true to my sense of reality and how it goes for most.
Loved it with gusto and admiration...

Cheers~

I felt this one. Every single line..........I love you, do you know this, you make me smile and laugh when you are here and my heart breaks as you walk away. Do you already know that my heart belongs to you, do you care...........lovely!
