A poem about love of course.

Between one heart beat and another

Love is either born or snuffed out.

Eyes meet in anticipation

Of newborn love

And for a moment, time stops

Between one heart beat and another.

    Really something unique with this poem, short but huge in imagery – touching hearts – readers and poet.

    Sometimes love is instant like that, born in the space of a heartbeat.

    ’snuffed out’ is a wonderful expression. Very final – tugs at my heart strings. Thank you so much for this lovely poem.
