A lost moment...

They stood on the doorstep. Below the car was waiting for her. Nothing was in her way but him. Their eyes met, there was a moment, a connection, a realisation that something was meant to happen. Some sort of contact was required, a hug, a kiss, even a hand shake. She was aware that this was a moment once lost - lost forever....

As I stood under your porch light looking below I turned and saw two eyes. They drew me in. It was as if the whole world had conspired to create this moment that was destined to be ignored. At that moment, if your hand met mine, if I gave you a hug, or your lips touched mine the conspiracy would have been completed, but we sidestepped in an intricate dance, smoother than silk was that movement, but it did not entirely cover up the fact that their was a moment, when your eyes strayed to mine....

A forgotten moment:
Their under the porch light, with a car waiting below,
There was a moment, some days ago.
A moment of time that seemed divine,
When your eyes met with the gaze of mine.
A moment that was meant to be,
But never anything but fantasy.

..like and disappearing from under your feet
a moment is to fleet..

Under the scattered light,
Of drawing night.
The porch aglow,
And a car waiting below.
Our eyes met, and, drew in close
To a moment as I suppose,
Was the same to you as it was to me,
A moment, awkward and free
Under the orange glow,
Something never happened, that’s the way life goes.
Full of moments that never are fulfilled,
The moment your eyes met mine
Was a destiny in time,
To never be fulfilled..
