Love Poem: Never Long Enough

Never Long Enough

You belong at the beginning 

Of every miracle, but 

Like most beautiful poems 

You lie hidden 

In the ordinary moments 

Of life.   

In the morning 

There is a time 

Between rising and putting on 

My socks 

When my space contains the memory 

Of you.  

A private place of moments where 

I have you to myself.

The place that reminds me, 

Forever 

Is never long enough.
