Fleeting? a Poem for dVerse Poetics

At the corner ahead is the famous Beatles' corner, Abbey Road


"I was never there"  
makes for a bad dream 
twas love at first sight 
we both heard the call 

To know each other 
other's ins and outs  
all the do's and don'ts 
first date told it all 

I fell for your eyes 
your bod and your soul 
tried to make them mine 
thought I did, did you 

Cavort months and months 
sweet nothings we shared 
so pop the question 
surprise! You said wait 

That a blow to me 
wipe our records clean 
reputations save 
Be "Ghost in the Burbs"

  5. I enjoyed this Jim. Love moves at a different pace for everyone, so waiting it’s never really a bad thing if you love is present. Well written. Happy new year to you and yours my friend.🙂✌🏼

  6. Teeth bites hurt .. heart bites hurt .. I've had my share. Living and loving long enough ensures the hurt. Wishing you and Mrs. Jim a most delightful, happy, healthy 2023. My son and I are spending the remainder of January in sunny Florida ... see you in February!
