moments

to fall in love takes a moment

a component of atonement

your eyes incite with an invite

even though all lips are finite

eternity will never be

long enough for you and me

but in the moment of our kiss

eternity must be like this

 

taking the time inventing rhymes

are making moments more benign

cause every moment we’re apart

i run to words within my art

to mimic moments i’m with you

cause all those moments are too few

i’m so enthralled i’d trade it all

until the final curtain call

 

for every moment left to me

to feel like the eternity

i feel in moments of your kiss

till nothing’s left that isn’t this
