This Moment

If I could take this
moment and
own it,
hold it,
like a piece of paper,
I'd fold it
and
stow it away,
like
a pocket knife.

If you would be
my wife,
I'd be the
happiest guy in
the world.
You'd be my
girl,
and I'd be your man...
I would hold
your hand and kiss you,
and you'd never
miss me again.

Reviews

[Stu. T.H.]

Sincere, heartwarming and enamoured sentiments enrich the poem with such sweetness and warmth that gets even the freshest bread in the bakery to envy. If heart can bleed, then love is one appropriate reason for it to do so; And though no moment is eternal, we always try to make the memories unadulterated by time, and always for a good reason. What a lovely poem to read, thank you for sharing your work, author Thomas W Cage. May your moment lasts longer than eternity.

Such endearing words, but I can’t help feeling

"and you'd never/ miss me again."
Gotta love that twist at the end. This poem reminds me of this song.
