Midnight Conversations


In the darkness of midnight
far away beyond ourselves
we meet and join in timelessness
like two spirits moulded into one
by the truth of this momentary eternity.
This bliss is the supremest of this life
and the miracle of it the most incredible.
The sight goes out and we live by hearing only
sweet soft words from barely audible voices,
the loveliest of this life
only because they understand each other
and thereby comprise each other
in the pious breathless embrace of eternity.
This union is this moment which,
if you have experienced it,
you can but always pray
for its remaining and continuing forever.

Thank you. This was actually a very old poem written 22 years ago, but the situation was such, that it has remained unforgettable and one of those moments you never can let go but just keep hanging on to, maybe forever...

your thoughts, your heart, are eloquently written in your poetry. It is always a pleasure to read your posts. Many times I find myself without adequate words to express the feelings that arise after reading your texts. I think this is one of those times, yet again. : )
