23 Minutes

by Maple Tree   Sep 2, 2014


What can I do in twenty three minutes?

I have a small amount of time before
I walk out that door, a routine of work
calls my name.

I really should devour you in kisses
because a rainstorm is coming
and I have this aching within my
soul, but I choose to remain still-

and write about it...

For if anything should happen to me
you will have the words to remind
your love for me, that I love you
every minute of every day
and I will continue to do so
forever and always.

Before I close this poem,
I now have thirteen minutes-

I'm going to kiss you one more
time, and tell you what you already
know... and you can read it
after I'm gone.

    Had to read it a second time. Loved it, so pure and heart left.

    This is so real and alive, sweet and sentimental. It shows with just a few minutes what one undergoes emotionally and how well that emotion can be expressed. Throughout this poem your voice is heard...another nice read.

    This is so vividly amazing and so sweet. I see nothing that should ever be changed and even if I did, adding it would interrupt the beauty of this poem. Wonderful job and this is very well written. Each line is a masterpiece in itself.
