A Moment

Neville

A Moment

 

For a moment time was stilled

And

Became a total irrelevance

 

It was then though

 

As I waited and watched from the sidelines

Like some predatory voyeur

 

That for a moment nothing

Whatsoever seemed to matter

 

Yet in that instant

A hunger came upon me

 

Heavy

 

Like some dark depressive curtain

 

It was then I lost

All sense of direction and purpose

 

It was then

I realised she was lost to me and gone forever

.

        The time when truth hits is often just one moment and you describe the effect so well in this sad little verse - - another heart-tugger Nev. - - but I love your romantic laments.

              Such an emotive write and it can happen to us all. Treasure each good moment though.

                    Dramatic Neville, very dramatic. Which is exactly what the subject deserves..
                    That is one very well crafted piece. It gets better on successive re-reads too!

                    • Neville
