One Moment In Time :: Artie :: Original Poetry

One Moment In Time

She didn't just walk towards me, she glided

It was like the air was alive, under her command

and it caressed her

It moved with her, it moved for her, it carried her

I was overwhelmed, overcome

my knees wanted to buckle

my heart began to race

I thought I was going to collapse

There she was standing before me

I was frozen, paralyzed, in a trance,

then she smiled

and there was silence...

I had never felt so comfortable

in my whole life

and in that one moment in time

I fell madly in love

I moved in close barely touching her side

Tilted my head to a perfect 45

With my hand I gently touched her cheek

guiding her closer, just an inch away from me

A soft wind blew as we looked in each other's eyes

For a moment we stood motionless as if frozen in time

She took her hand and placed it on my chest

closed her eyes and took a deep breath

If I were to live for all eternity

the only place I would want to be

is wrapped up within the arms of this angel by my side

in this special place where all my happiness lies

The moment our lips touched it sent chills down my spine

I was overwhelmed by the images racing through my mind

I saw everything that ever happened in my life

and realized that every minute, had brought me to her side

The stars all around

seemed to twinkle extra bright

and the moon sang a melody

that echoed through the night

It was like the whole world

didn't exist anymore

We had entered our own universe

and it was waiting to be explored

We were rocketing down
an old country two lane
in an uncharted land
where the sky was the limit,
and horizons didn't exist.
Fate and Destiny
were helium balloons in the wind
tethered lightly to the bumper,
we were headed for one destination....

Forever
