Gerry Mattia Poet Free verse

Chemistry

The simultaneous effect 
of two glances 
across the last remaining 
distance between them 

Then 
    when first they met 

Now 
    when they are apart 

Each carrying within 
   the beat 
     of the other's heart

Michael Jordan February 18, 2009 at 6:46 PM Gerry - this poem is short to the point and absolutely perfect - nice to meet you - welcome, though i appear to be a little late - very gifted poetry - Often i tend to be a tad long winded in my poems I reckon - God Bless, MJ

Daver Austin February 17, 2009 at 5:15 AM Hi, Gerry. My old friend passed on...We both of us are/were musicians. By "overtones" I'm talking about the subtle harmonics in one's voice and behavior, the little asides embellishments. I like your poem, by the way. My e-mail is [email protected]. Love, daver
