Time stood still

Love, does time really matter

 

 

Time stood still

 

A vision in the distance

as if my mind deceives

This watercolor fancy

of loveliness perceived

 

I dare not move a muscle

or fight against my will

A breath might break the silence

as if all time stood still

 

A crisp cool wind a’ blowing,

my heart does skip a beat

For but this man of simple means,

an angel comes to meet

 

I do not wish to startle,

nor cause an ounce of fear

If this is but a truthful sight,

I pray let her come near

 

The sun it is not moving,

no shadows formed to play

As this angelic vision,

walks to me this day

 

With open armed affection,

she takes me by the hand

And leads me to my fantasy,

then whispers of her plan

 

This day shall last forever,

no setting sun to fill

As if such joy was meant to be

and time it does stand still

Stunning, this is a remarkable write.

Thanks so much.

This was beautiful indeed. While reading I was picturing someone ascending to heaven...time standing still and the greeting of an angel. The "character" is pensive and nervous, timid even, but in the end there is just beauty and enduring love. You do not disappoint, my friend!

Thank you so much Sarah. Your words always make my time stand still

[icelandicblue]

How utterly gorgeous. When perfection comes to stay time does indeed stand still, otherwise how could we ever savor it?

[Jack...]

Blue my friend, thank you so very much.

[Raven Cedrone]

Your imagery was beautiful Jack.
I loved the flow as I read along, so smooth, as clouds gliding along the sky. The entire piece put me in a relaxed state, as if time were truly standing still in this very moment. Well done.

Thank you so much Raven.

[Janna Nicole]

I'm almost speechless.
Any words I could think of to describe this, I feel like they would be feeble following the words that you pieced together so charmingly.
This is a wonderful piece. Serene and alluring from the very first stanza to the end.

Thank you so very much for stopping by and leaving such kind words for me.

[Janna Nicole]

damn! if only love could always be like you describe in your poems...we would all be running around like adam and eve in the garden .....BEFORE the FALL!

[Jack...]

Yes jacob, I do seem to live in a dream world...just hoping someday these dreams come true.
