For A Few Precious Moments Poem by Mark Heathcote

For a few precious moments
Partly to join in with hers
Flaming at our seashore seams
In less awkward turbulent seas
I’m with her and all else blurs.

For a few precious moments
My heart contracts each time
I think about kissing her lips
As if the sea salt spray of my soul
Was yearning to dissolve ellipse?

For a few precious moments
Joined together I with her wings
Wings of a butterfly we stroke
Eden’s misty rocky loving nest
Into a watery chrysalis double yolk.

And for a few precious moments
Together glancing we see a hole
A slice of the sky
A cherry pie morning wet with dew
And together we just knew

For a few precious moments
We two could fly…
