Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

Incidental Contact

Tattered pieces of time
Envelope my very soul
Awakened by the silence
As the tears began to flow

All those borrowed memories
Forever now returned
A perfect lover's serenade
Never to be learned

Just incidental contact
Is what was meant to be
Trading passing glances
For all eternity

Stolen hopes and dreams
For a future that didn't last
Shattered broken promises
Discarded to the past

I count the very heartbeats
That's spelling out your name
While looking for a reason
Or someone else to blame

A priceless hidden treasure
That none could count the cost
Cursed, without redemption
For the love that I have lost
