One Brief Moment

In one brief moment you saw me as I am without a word spoken palm open for my hand. Nary a harp string plucked silence graced the air silhouettes became one my heart I laid bare. Candle wicks were unlit full moon a distant past my emerald eyes glowed your love echoing back. Fire our skin to skin heat scent unique unto us not a flower in bloom our souls we gave in trust. In one brief moment you saw me as I am the memory of each breath my bliss I'll always have. 03-28-2017

It is a difficult thing to share with someone who you really are, and it is a lucky and hopefully very grateful person who gets to share this moment with you.

Hi Lynn, love sings as your words flow down the page. Your "One Brief Moment" can shine for an eternity as one does read your words, as they softly enter the heart, stirring the emotions. The words that dreams are made of Lynn. In "One Brief Moment" you have touched the heart and soul. This one has to be a seven and a fave Lynn.

I LOVE beautiful love poems, and this is one Lynn. I always hope that once my loved one will see me in real life, he will REALLY see me, not just the outside me, but the whole of me. You worded that so well.

Wow, Lynn, you really hit the spot here. A special, scary, necessary truth about part of what it is to be human. I wish everybody had the moment as you describe.
