Did You Know What I Was Thinking?

by Denis J. Ryan Harman
(Dahlonega, GA, USA)

Don't go
what else can I say
you have touched my soul
I have looked in your eyes
and have seen heaven at peace
with all below
if you go
this room will be filled with strangers
that did not exist a moment ago
don't go
linger here for a moment longer
upon this oasis before
I must return to a desert place
where I will only dream
of seeing you once again
