Moment MAG
the hands of the clock were her merry-go-round
and she rides the gray horse
around, round, round
each dizzy whirl a year
a millennium
an eternity
it spins round, round
never stopping
never seeing
the girl with the revised smile
and the scratched-out heart
in just a moment
she will return to her world
the chapter of change predestined
her novel written for her
already?
in just a moment
it will happen
a slammed door
a plane lifting in flight
a world shattered
in just a moment
she will kiss his whispered promises
i’m here
i’m always here
and brush his hand
friction
and will say those words
good-bye
in just a moment
she will read his eyes
like the pages of her books
and will write his story around hers
in just a moment
the hands of the clock move on
and she stays on her gray horse
broken smile, broken heart
the moment; lost

I absolutely love the part when it refers to kisssing his whispered promises. It's amazing. And so true, it takes a real poet to take such a simple action, and bring it to life.
Amazing. :)
which you cut right to the point
i hate when people rhyme because sometimes they dont have a chance to get eveerything they want to say in.
and therfore the poem turns out different then they even wanted.
which yours is amazing so i dont think you'll have to ever worry about that!
good job=]
and she rides the gray horse"
you wrote "were" which is past tense but then "rides" which is present tense
