We appeared <br />in the turned off T.V screen <br /> <br />our reflections <br />moving like shadows <br /> <br />in a lost dimension <br />of another world. <br /> <br />Outside was nothing <br />but Summer <br /> <br />innocently happening <br />to itself. <br /> <br />Everything in our years <br />compelling us to this <br /> <br />kiss <br /> <br />as if all life <br />was just this <br />single second <br /> <br />each molecule of you <br />blossoming into each molecule of me <br /> <br />until there was <br />no me no you no more <br /> <br />just this <br />coming together <br /> <br />as if our lives <br />unravelled backward <br /> <br />to our very first <br />beginnings <br /> <br />then once again <br />thrusting itself forward <br /> <br />each of us a sperm <br />rushing blindly to an egg <br /> <br />to fashion <br />this Future <br /> <br />that is this <br /> only now.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ths-only-now/
