Phyllis Babcock Poet Rhyme

Game of Chance

Eyes meet with a quick glance
A fleeting second just by chance
Moments frozen as the fire burns
World takes a sudden twist and turn

Elated by feelings of bliss
Unknown attraction that exists
Overwhelming desire to meet
Into two innocent souls it seeps

Forbidden it could not start
Would end in a broken heart
A deep connection from a mere glance
Entwined lives in a game of chance

Two ships that passed in the night
Fragments of time just not right
Caught in the game of chance
Now a lost connection in a glance

Poet Destroyer A September 2, 2015 at 1:14 PM Hi Phyllis, once in a midnight dream I met a wonderful dream, just like this above. Everything about the game of chance is forbidden and far from any reach. A wonderful poem, in which reminds me of a dear old friend... Sometimes attraction fades quicker than the night.. Enjoyed... ((i have a new poem, would you like to read it.. it's titled FLESH)) it's a dark one.. LINDA Phyllis Babcock September 2, 2015 at 1:39 PM Linda that poem Flesh is very deep and dark. I have only written a couple of deep ones . It was an awesome write by the two of you. love phyl Phyllis Babcock September 2, 2015 at 1:27 PM thanks for reading my poem it those fleeting moments that can sometimes impact a life. love phyl now off to read Flesh.
