Gone

I turned around

And you were there.

We were staring at each other's eyes

Like time did not exist

Like nothing else mattered.

Those piercing blue eyes

Boring into my soul

Digging into my being.

You alone knew

Only you.

I stepped closer to you

Heart pounding every step I took.

I reached out my hand

Eager to feel you again

Aching to hold you in my arms.

I reached out

Almost touching you

Almost within my grasp.

And then

You were gone.

This can mean more than one thing as when I first read it I thought of one imagining past times and lost love but on re Reading was reminded of one of my own I saw him today were one sees themselves has they were in a mirror image and then once more the present intrudes and we are lost. However this is read it is still emotional, I love the tender expression of self. Keep em' coming

A mirage obviously, or is it? What's a woman, life and what am I? These would be important questions for one to look at. A poem that's a door to another world.

I came because of a read request... I WILL return - without one.

Very felt and well spoken.

If this is mediocrity, I'd hate to see what s**t looks like.
