Little was said Yet both of us knew As the hands on my watch so treacherous flew Leaping too gleeful between stolen glances Obscene in their haste Making light of our chances Still the word would not come How could that be so? When it seems twixt our meetings Whole worlds come and go.
Ten lifetimes could never do justice to you Yet scant moments are all I can treasure as true When my hand touched yours Then all earth stood still With a jolt of raw power A tectonic thrill As if Physics had said, “This time is theirs” “Forget for one moment responsible cares” But too soon did the sun race low in the sky Our own thief of time that demanded “Goodbye” So with fortitudinous smiles we both did depart
And that word left unsaid Still sits deep in my heart.
“……sit with that special girl for an hour and it feels like a minute. That’s relativity!” : Albert Einstein.
Burns Night! – and that always needs a poem or two !!
