A Poem For Meli

By Archy 12

A moment's eternity—

when blood beats

in our veins, and dark eyes lock

and dark eyes lock

with each-other—

Then trembling hands touch,

and fine flame flickers

between soft lips;

It makes the cheeks

glow ruby-red,

and says all that is

left unsaid.


Our chance meetings,

surely conjured

by some benevolent fairy

waving a magic wand;

For,

when I return,

there's gold dust in my eyes

and silver dust on my fingertips;

The first gives golden dreams,

the later sparkling poems.
