Chanrda and the Excels

A Shared Moment

By Chandra D. Lewis

I hear my heart beat

from feeling his touch,

kissing him gently

and knowing him not much--

asking the question

from whom all blessings come,

believing in my soul

I need someone.

Why do I feel this inflaming

of love flow seeing his face,

a distinguishing radiant glow?

I know this is not real.

Even though it was short

to kiss him, caress him

he now lives in my thoughts.
