How many minutes ticked away
since life was rearranged
and the pattern of breathing
was beautifully changed?
How many hours slipped away
since skies merged by design,
vanishing everything around
with no measure of time?
From the shimmering heavens
the moon smiles so brightly,
witnessing two lonely hearts
softly colliding sublimely.

The first stanza captivated me – had to read it several times before I could move. One to be memorized, most certainly! Beautiful poem, Lauren. ❤️
Thanks for your lovely words, Michele. I’m happy to know the first verse drew you in. I haven’t shared any romance lately, so I’m glad you enjoyed this. 💞
Beautiful poem. Beautiful use of words and imagery Lauren
Thanks so much, Brian. I appreciate your wonderful comment. Have a good Monday!
I’m in awe of poets like yourself and an others on WP. It’s stringing words together to express meaning and emotion. I get that, but it takes it to a new level beyond simple prose. Anyway, beautiful work.
You’re so kind, Brian, and I appreciate your encouraging words. You have a knack for writing about everyday life that makes your readers think, and you do it well, adding that dash of entertaining humor. 😁
Thanks Lauren, I’m not sure what my knack is … I definitely like writing about everyday life. Poetry is definitely different for me. It’s one where I admire from afar! Ha ha.
Time slips by no matter what we’re doing.
Very true, Binky. 🙂
❤️️Such a beautiful and meaningful poem, Lauren.
