Rare Moment



In that instant,
I knew
I wanted to hold on to it
Forever.
The way you looked,
The way you moved,
The way you spoke.

You were alive in your madness,
In love with the night.
I had never seen you like this before,
So passionate
And confident.
You were the embodiment
Of the night,
Dark,
Mysterious,
And alluring.
It was impossible
Not to be drawn to you.

As we stood there,
Lost in the moment,
I knew that this was a memory
I would always treasure.
It was a rare moment
Of perfection,
Two people connected
By something intangible
And powerful.
In that instant,
I knew that we would always
Share this moment,
No matter where life took us.

I'm just a regular, blue collar, working stiff who took an interest in writing poetry many years ago but until recently I haven't had a desire to share any with anyone or pursue publication. I'm an unpublished fork lift operator by night, and a day drinker by choice. I can be followed on Twitter @JoeStricklandSC more…
