Fragments

Star-crossed and floating lovers
Oblivious to all around them
Walk hand in hand beneath the trees,
Soon to be enraptured in a moon-kissed
Embrace. Equally oblivious. lost. Ecstatically happy in our
spiritual
love,
We watch them go, as we once watched Our youth tick away. Bitter-
sweet
moments of undying love Plucked from the background of our
wedded lives.
Care, we take, not to bruise our loved Ones; the pain, the
anguish, of
lonely Separation must be ours alone, and ours The blinding,
soaring
passion of Unfulfilment. Fleeting moments on a Telephone, soft
glances
in a sunlit room,
Love in fragments of seconds.
