Love Poem: Incidental Contact

Written by: Larry Belt

Incidental Contact

Tattered pieces of time
Envelope my very soul
Awakened by the silence
As the tears began to flow

All those borrowed memories
Forever now returned
A perfect lover's serenade
Never to be learned

Just incidental contact
Is what was meant to be
Trading passing glances
For all eternity

Stolen hopes and dreams
For a future that didn't last
Shattered broken promises
Discarded to the past

I count the very heartbeats
That's spelling out your name
While looking for a reason
Or someone else to blame

A priceless hidden treasure
That none could count the cost
Cursed, without redemption
For the love that I have lost
