That moment between sleep and waking,
when limbs lie heavy sinking into reverie
where I can float on unseen currents of air,
find you standing without misconception.
That moment between life and love
when the heart stretches to open,
& passion flies in like a golden eagle,
with the sun flaming its wings.
Each time I see you it’s the same
some huge unseen force empties the room,
I devoid of oxygen left gasping like a fish
on the beach of outstretched hand;
here lovers mingle at the corner of the street
traffic noises whirr inside our lives, but, you and I adrift,
an unknown sea of stars collide at corners of the bar
where neither one can speak, of the love we feel.
Brilliant as always Victoria! Been keeping up with all of your writing lately. Must say, it’s probably a highlight of my day reading your poetry, sometimes relating deeply to it. Blessings & Best always.
Thanks Michael ……….that’s brilliant
best Victoria
