Milli-Between-Seconds

They have this perfectly imperfect thing—
it never faded,
not with miles,
not with years.
He loves her exactly as she is—
the unpolished, the unguarded,
And she loves him in every corner of her soul.
Yet, still…
time keeps them on opposite pages.
What will it take
for the clocks to agree,
for the world to hush
long enough
for them to gather every stolen second,
stack them into minutes,
minutes into hours,
hours into forever.
Until then,
He’ll keep loving her
in the milli—between—seconds,
until the day time finally says
yes
to innumerable minutes
together.
Creative soul. Artsy to the core. Poet, Speaker, Author. An unapologetic lover of God, of love and of all things nature. Hardcore logophile with an epigrammatic style. I am motivated to write from observing what I believe God created-by-design like nature, family, love, and relationship. My work has been published in anthologies, magazines and newspapers then I later wrote and published my first book: “Moments: A Poetic Heart Journey”. And I continue to write. When I’m not writing creatively, I work for an international organization to promote social progress, better living standards and human rights.
