Stolen Moments Poem by James B. Earley

Stolen Moments

Rating: 5.0


So...long...the day......so short....the hour
Stolen moments....angst...........deceit
......Another night.....sooo....long....the hour
Stolen moments......bittersweet
*
*
So far away...on an autumn's day
And yet...so near they were
Two woven lives...two souls in love
With many dreams...to share

...Memories.....fueled......emotions
Linger.....poignant...in their hearts
Painfully....they lay....and visit
Intimate....though..a world apart

Once again.....they'll fall together
At...some future...time...and place
Unrestrained...desire...erupting
In a passion......filled.......embrace
*
*
So....long..the day.......so...short..the hour
Stolen.....moments....angst..............deceit
.......Another....night....sooo..long...the hour
Stolen moments......bittersweet

Sounds like forbidden love to me.Sometimes folks marrybecause they think they are in love only to find real love later.Then they must make do with stolen moments. Nicely presented my friend a thinkers poem

Reading this fills me with feelings. Deep love shared seems so momentary and evasive, difficult to capture again, only to be remembered and dreamed about. We keep changing. The longing keeps us hoping and desiring. Well done.

Hey James: In this poem I see so many situations that could be termed in this way. How many young people could equate with the thoughts implied. Well written. Adeline

The stolen moments of an illicit love beautifully expressed.

Yes - I consider the poem to be excellent; the way you have spaced out the words, giving the reader time to thoroughly take in the meaning. Joyce.
