This moment

tight
hold me
like there is
no     tomorrow
breathe the moment sigh
  kiss  each   freckle   blushing   
slow dance under moonlit night
sing,  laugh even  for  no  reason
stir this  moment not,  it's all we have





     hold  each  drop of  us,  here  lingering       
capture whispered  breath i sigh as
you kiss  each blushing  freckle
   bliss comes like butterfly    
fleeing languid wings 
hold  me  tight  as
we slow dance  
moonlit   
night  





“Smile, breath and go slowly.” - Thich Naht Hanh, Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk

    Interesting. Fun. Creative.

    "stir this moment not, it's all we have"

    Perfect words that go well with the image.

    "slow dance under a moonlit night"...doesn't get any more romantic than that.
    Love "kiss each blushing freckle".

    stir this moment not, it's all we have...

    The ultimate truth in one line. Some may marvel, but we know that's what's called poetry.

    (And I like your "feelthy peectures")

    Very nicely and naturally done within the formal constraint. The reader doesn't imagine the message being rendered any other way.

    Hi there Haven,
    sorry i'm only finding time to write now...
    It's so wonderful to read this, it lingers lightly and lands you softly in the "slow dance / moonlit / night".
    btw - i love "...capture whispered" (all in between) and "blushing freckle".
    Nice work with the structure.
    bliss to you and yours.
    Deb

    Heaven, this is a very good piece. Really love it. I'm really into combining the visual aspects of poetry with the words themselves. Even the white spaces between the image and the poetry's triangular form shows connection to the moment. Really again, great job:)
