Brief Encounter

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Aug 06, 2016

To receive gracious kindness
From the hand of a stranger,
Is like a fragrant kiss in paradise
When hearts yearn with desire.

Opportunity allows actions we don’t understand
In brief encounter, love touches the heart,
With this warmth waiting on sublime strand,
Stirring siren within the pulsating beat. 

The threat of defeat and the heat of passion
May only combine the bonds in retreat, 
When we allow doubt to take possession 
In those brief moments, we meet.

Our world becomes one corporate union, 
Link to the carriages of our companion.
