Description
Give me fifteen minutesto Breathe you in
to absorb you like O2
to Drown in your eyes
Give me five minutes
to taste your blues
to memorize your melody
and the prosody of your features
the calling ballad of your soul
Lord willing that you'll speak
Aside to me again
to be eneveloped in the warmth of
Your Tone.
Give me six hours
to hold you in like-sleep
to share the warmth of your mind
to somehow bridge these walls
Give me a Thousand Days
to memorize your mannerisms
to record your ways
to decide my actions
Give me a million years
and a fraction of my task
lost in your eyes I might complete.
Give me this
last second
to Dream
of you
to Forgive
my heart
its last
betrayal
Please
Lay upon my
hands the
soft, cold truth
of this
timid warmth I
plead
the
fifth.

I really enjoyed this. How it progressed along a series of events and the respective emotions associated with those moments. Also how the fifteen minutes shorten immediately, but than begin to exponentially lengthen until all of a sudden it's lingering on one last second. Beautiful.

I love the last two stanzas, especially. It speaks to me of love unrequitted, in a very beautiful way.

Deep.
I really like when a poem with such meanings/themes,dont just sound high,well written and 'pretty'.Always on the look out for one with something real and sincere in it,and I see and feel those qualities/distinctions in this.
I really like this.
Guess it suites my mentality.
