Brief Nirvana Poem by Matthew English

A brief moment of happiness is;
the gaze in your eyes,
the warmth i feel from your gentle touch,
my hands in your hands
under the dim lighting of this tea room,
this crippling shyness that possesses my body
as i hide away in my arms,
and the atmosphere we have created
just by being together.
For months i have been waiting,
waiting to feel such happiness
although short-lived as i depart.
For now this happiness can only be relived
in my dreams and thoughts, as i wait
for this.. again.
