Yearning

     We met by a stream 
        in the midst of a dream 
    
     faded into morning’s mist
        O, how we yearned to kiss

This is soft and dreamy—like a memory you’re not sure was real. That last line really lingers… simple, romantic, and full of longing. Beautifully done, Gershon!

A surprise at the end ... yearned to kiss? I was almost sure the kiss had already taken place my friend. :-) Nice Couplet poetry. Bill

Perhaps a stolen kiss had taken place, after all.
