Han River Poems : It is not good enough that the days rush by

Monday, June 8, 2020

It is not good enough that the days rush by,

Filling each void to keep busy,

Passing the days to draw you nearer.

What I want is you here with me now,

To feel the dream becoming real,

Out of my head and into the night,

With music’s swell enveloping us.

The dance of serendipity moving within.

It is not good enough

For the time to fly

When it can burst through the speed of light

Into flames hard to contain,

Smoldering upon reaching your lips.

When time together slips through our hands,

Better to dream about you within every distraction,

See your smile in everything,

The ripeness of your eyes,

Your adorable glance of disbelief,

Tightening our coil until its release.

Nothing could be the same

After you whisper my name,

After we kiss and draw each other near;

That is what I fear.
