in this brief moment
my sigh
takes my breath away,
left realizing
I miss you
and this passion…
I cannot explain
in this brief moment
my sigh
takes my breath away,
left realizing
I miss you
and this passion…
I cannot explain

This particular passage in my poem came to mind after reading a passage of yours:
“in this brief moment
my sigh
takes my breath away,”
and the way words can never do justice to our feelings.

I wondered if those words may have been the trigger. I felt that, too. Kinda cool.
The down side for poets.

No down side in “Peeling Potatoes” where the sensation one of peace and ecstasy rather an anguish. 🙂

“The moment poised
The universe, breath held
And each tiny epiphenomenon
With a full dance card
A winsome smile
And a secret dream of consummation
After the ball
A moment poised
Echoing off down the ages
With a come hither eyelash
And little in mind but to shimmer without resolution
As the unspoken exclamation shifts
From “what a phenomenon!”
To “what a sensation!”
While with a flick of the wrist
And a slip of the lip
The magician in you melts away”

The reasons behind the infatuation can be the smallest of details in a grand picture. One of the best feelings. Smiles

For me, the lack of pastels or vibrant summer colors are not missed when viewing a setting like this, C. I see them already coming to life.
