One Glimpse Poem by Jean Rojas

one glimpse and gone forever
never to see the face of day
one night together
and nothing more
one attempt to share
each others bodies
for so many years
i have remembered

one glimpse of the inner
room above the sky
and that is all,
it closed, before i could really see
that you and i are
just playthings in the wind
and the circumstances shall
forever rearrange
what the first and the last
in chronological order
really mean, sans deception
of eager perception
is that i shall never behold
for the second time
what the first glimpse
had given me
a little taste of ecstasy
a little knowledge of the extreme
and a random thought of
what might have been........
