Kenneth R. Merrill Poet Couplet

Can You Spare a Moment

I wonder, do you wonder too?
Can you spare a moment, or perhaps a few?
For you see, I am a lonely man;
Have you likewise ever lonely been?
I will light a candle, or even three
For the promise of your company.
We could share a glass of Chardonnay,
Or a Brandy, if you will only stay.
As for the night, it might never end,
Should you the every hour spend.
Can you spare a moment, or maybe four?
Till flies the moon, and evermore!

Charmaine Chircop September 18, 2019 at 5:08 PM I would share more than just one moment reading your lovely poetry. Kenneth R. Merrill September 18, 2019 at 5:12 PM All of a sudden I was recalling Wuthering Heights, one of my favorite novels. Anyway, thank you, Charmaine—for the read and smile (-; ~ Ken

Gershon Wolf September 16, 2019 at 9:57 PM A fine romantic write; wonderful antidotes to loneliness here penned. Cheers, Gershon Gershon Wolf September 18, 2019 at 4:40 PM I like it both ways. Great!! ~ Gershon Kenneth R. Merrill September 16, 2019 at 10:23 PM Thank you, Gershon. It did a little revising, and I hope you’ll take another look—still romantic, but I think, improved. Thanks again, and the best always ~ Ken
