Is isn’t? So simple and not too wordy but gives a lovely feeling :)

It does give a lovely feeling. It’s the first stanza that I love so much, and the last. In fact I like it all!

Just something to share…

Love this poem, read it years ago, came across it recently and thought I’d write it down

I held you in the square
And felt the evening
Re-order itself around
Your smile.

The dreams I could never touch
Felt like your body.
Your gentleness made the
Night soft.

And even if we didn’t know
Where we were going,
Nor what street to take
Or what bench to sit on
What chambers awaited
That would deliver us our
Naked joy,
I could feel in your spirit
The restlessness for a journey
Whose beauty lies
In the arriving moment
Of each desire.

Holding you in the evening square,
I sealed a dream
With your smile as the secret pact

(Ben Okri, ‘86)
