Snapshot
by
Rusty Broadspear
Snapshot still, her head in his hands,
Moist eyes looked up into his.
Her fingers motionless
Around his waist.
Frozen forever, two half smiles,
Showing longing and sadness.
Infinite paralysis
Magnified the fulsome love
They held in store for each other.
A single tear
Falling for ever from open eyes
For ever declaring his love.
Fixed in time
Looking down in awe
At his jewel of the earth.
He found her.
She found him.
Sweet embrace so near
And when at last face to face,
Time was spent.
An unseen lightening strike,
A camera flash,
A snapshot.
Her hair skipped in the breeze,
He didn't notice.
The tear fell and shattered,
She didn't notice
No one bought this photograph,
For it only exists
In the mists of time
And in the minds
Of two people
In impossible love.
