Taken by surprise in such a public place, <br />Shaken from my solace by the image of your face. <br />My hand held all the Jacks. Of course, you played your Ace. <br />My senses are in overdrive, all pulses start to race, <br />The distance shrinks too quickly, I start to slow my pace <br />Until I move no more and am rooted in this space. <br />Time stands still as you approach, I'm humbled by your grace. <br />So close that I perceive the softest touch of your embrace. <br />A smile. Then gone. The moment lost. This day I can't replace.<br /><br />Esra Sloblock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-dream/
