In The Blink Of An Eye

by Timothy r   May 12, 2006


Imagining our first meeting
Something story books were written of
Tales of hearts and minds forever fleeting
The beginnings of a brand new love

Something wicked this way came
And swept you away with lightning flair
The sky suddenly erasing our names
As they were spelled out in night`s air

Hocus Pocus, you are suddenly gone
Choosing another path to follow
My search for love goes trudging along
This lump in my throat too big to swallow

Happily ever after the story book reads
True love is something that is earned
Wherever this tale endlessly leads
Today`s lesson was painfully learned

    Yes, those lessons usually are painful, and yet so many people never really learn.

    Great work

    T this poem was really sad for me to read.....I do understand how your feeling. I particularly loved these two verses :

    Hocus Pocus, you are suddenly gone
    Choosing another path to follow
    My search for love goes trudging along
    This lump in my throat too big to swallow

    Happily ever after the story book reads
    True love is something that is earned
    Wherever this tale endlessly leads
    Today`s lesson was painfully learned

    I thought they were so deep and meaningful and im sure the reader understands the message.

    Take care, Lis

    Oooh, I love this. Such a creative poem, adore the fairytale aspect. It adds an element of fun to what would be a very serious piece.
