A Few Moments After

Neville

A Few Moments After

 

Only a few moments

afterwards ..

When she had finally

caught up

with her breath again ..

She scratched

an upside down arch

in the sand

with her finger ..

Right next to where

only a moment

before, they had both

just been laying ..

Or maybe, 

it might have been 

the making

of a smile perhaps .. x

          Is this the birthplace of erotic Emojis?
          A lot is said here with but a few words, the rest is left to the reader's humanity. The scene is minimally painted and yet piques the readers imagination. And then it ends, and the remainder is in the mind of the reader. If poetry is saying the most with the least, this is poetry at its best. - Phil A.

            To me the beauty of the poem is that a simple gesture says it all. No need for words, a silence that fills the heart. Well penned dear friend!
