Inside your eyes is where time stands so still Nuance of romance sweet my heart does thrill There is no other place I'd rather be Held in your arms is what life means to me Eternal bliss you kiss into this time Mad rush of passion tastes of the sublime Oh, how your loving makes this moment last More touches and my melting happens fast Eternal pleasures in this moment live No holding back, your all is what you give To time I say, "Now bow your head in shame" For "In the Moment" is my lover's name! Eileen Late for contest. I had relatives staying over and have been busy. This poem is an acrostic done in iambic pentameter. Enjoy

You made use of various ingredients to write this excellent acrostic, Eileen; pity you lost out on the contest; the introductory line captured my attention straight away. hugs // paul

Passion that makes moments ageless, love that creates beauty timeless...it makes me happy as a hug to know you feel love so good Eileen. This poem of excellent rhyme just radiates happiness. J.A.B.

I would say you captured the moment that counted even though the moment for the contest passed.

Eileen, an acrostic is trouble enough but to do it in iambic pentameter....I think this one deserves a late slip.

Your iamabic pentameter is great in this poem and I always enjoy an acrostic more when it is nicely rhymed like this one is. too bad you missed the deadline, sweetie. you did such a great job.

Thank you, David. Glad you liked this little piece. Some moments will never be relived. That always makes me sad. I tried to hold on to some of those moments...they slipped through my fingers. I grieved them even before they passed....Couldn't live in the moment...A big mistake. We live and learn. Hugs
