We

We met, a brief moment in time, a passing encounter, a long goodbye. From the beginning it seemed only goodbye, missing each moment before it passed, longing for time, Tick, Tick, Tick, the sound of your heart beat, your golden eyes, sad eyes, shadows haunting me, your form cast on cottony clouds, the silvery beast stealing you, the time is gone. We are gone. silhouette on glass your image lingers in me sweet bird fly away We are together, time passes, but I see you... again. Beautiful island, reflections of you, mountains, beaches, cascading falls, all are you. Exotic beauty, mine for a moment, walks in the forest holding hands, lost in the trees laughing, white skin bronzing in the sun, soft skin, supple and smooth, pineapples and strawberries and passion... fruit, I leave. We are you and me...again. only thoughts of you sadness is my companion what poor company We marry! Love, joy, happiness, our time has come, together now, my dream, our dream fulfilled. We are we. our time has begun you and me now so much more together as we 08/10/15 Any poem trashed in a recent contest-9th Place Broken Wings 9/30/2015 HAIBUN Contest-NA scott thirtyseven 8/10/2015
