A Glimpse, A Glimmer

Author: gnj4u

Something in your smiling eyes
reached right in, grabbed hold
of heart, ever so faintly beating
by grace, allowed to remember
it does know how to love.

Glimpse from one to another
gift of attraction, glimmers
lifeline to lifetime, felt.

Sometimes we can meet someone incredibly special, who when each looks into the other's eyes , that look , that "glimpse" can almost touch one's very soul .
It is so lovely now and then , to be reminded by a quickening hearbeat , that there still lies within , the capability to not only love , but love a person for a "lifetime ".
Beautiful poetry gnj4u - warm regards as always -F

Behind that super cool exterior, the reader senses a rare passion bubbling away just awaiting the right moment to erupt, and engulfing some lucky male with a few unforgettable moments:

Oops! I can't believe I said that... You may forgive me if I explain I've just been listening on the radio to some sublime romantic music from Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro.

Seriously, a superb write.

of heart, ever so faintly beating

Very well constructed and I agree with Rob's comment. I like the discipline of your approach straight throughout towards the theme.

Perfect gnj, just perfect, gave me such a warm feeling reading this lovely poem.
