A SHORT LIVED DREAM
How wonderful it would
have been
Had not something come
between
It happened suddenly,
unexpectantly
The window of true love
beckoned to us
We poured out our hearts
unashamedly
It was all so quick
for us, so spontaneous
An undefined dimension
opened up for us
We reached for it, held
it close, enchanted
By the force of its
throes but to no avail
For the precious clicks
of time never stood still
Running out for us as
we our sweet parting took
Perhaps not really knowing
what came over us
We let our dreams of
love slip by, abandon us
Only to awaken to reality,
having shed our dreams,
As fate looked us square
in the eye, we realized
Our impossible situation,
we faltered, surrendered
We did the right and
proper thing but at what cost
To each, for all time,
and to our quenched fires of love.
