Before I forget
Before life speeds up
while today melts away
When everything is a blur
When I am he and Not me
I think of you as just her
Then comes tonight
Before the clock strikes midnight
While our world is sleeping
Time slows down
things are back in focus
the mask falls away
the façade is just a charade
I am now me, human
You are not ‘just’ her
You are infinitely more than ‘just’, divine
My eyes forget
But my heart sees true
You are her and She is you
FANTASTIC lines, these!
How reality melts into a dream, and vice versa… I suppose it’s just how we wish to look upon it as…
Loved this poem!

Love poems aren’t usually my thing, but I lasted the distance and loved it! Didn’t get that saccharine sickly feeling in the back of my throat, no choking on cliches… nicely balanced between the sexes too… perhaps that’s one of the major reasons it worked for me. It also felt very honorific without, as I say, getting sickly or cliched.
Kudos
