~moments suspended in time~

this is a sketch of two lovers on the streets of Erlangen, Germany done by Allen Shaw (driftingalongthesea.blogspot.com)... and the poem below was written by me many months before i received this special sketch.  

.

..

We met

In a parallel universe

You found me

Amidst the maddened race

Of red streaks and white bystanders

.

.

A surreal world where few existed

we had little time

And stolen moments

That's what made it what it is

.

.

In those moments

We sat together

Held each other

Made love without having to meet ever

In those moments your eyes told stories

And mine looked away ever so often

Not wanting to disclose what i was feeling

.

.

I have seen you cry

And give in

I have held back

Not yielding

Fearing the distance you would leave behind

.

.

But yesterday was different

As time seemed frozen and yet so transient

I cried

I met you again and knew

We would never change

Constant...

In this sacred distance that, we have created.
