“A Stolen Moment”
By Alyssa S.

The green of his eyes
Seemed greener as he moved close.
He removed my mask,
And a whisper of a breath
Halted the gallop of time.

The brush of his lips
Was a caress against mine.
Somehow, the tender
Strokes became everlasting,
As I yielded to each one.

But the illusion
Was sharply broken, and the
Tender touch was gone.
It left like a phantom, as
The reverie lay shattered.

Did I procure that
Ethereal radiance?
Will his visage lie
Hidden from me forever?
Was he real, a wish, a dream?
