I tried to
coax and cajole
that moment;
toiled to nurture
that moment;
toiled to nurture
and nourish it;
begged it to stay,
soothed it
begged it to stay,
soothed it
with poetry;
strove to sing it a lullaby,
lured it with love;
attempted to
strove to sing it a lullaby,
lured it with love;
attempted to
make it blind
with passion,
held it in my arms,
with passion,
held it in my arms,
caressed its forehead
with warmth and
kissed its eyelids ….
Yet the moment
like every other ones
went away,
without pausing
without looking back.
kissed its eyelids ….
Yet the moment
like every other ones
went away,
without pausing
without looking back.

oh yeah...there are those moments i would love to snatch...no matter what they do though, they never look back...nice write.
Captured the, uh, moment, perfectly. (Who says perfection can't happen in small, quiet - and sadly, often underappreciated - doses?).
Wow-worthy, thoughtful work.
thank you so much Brian, Steve.
I hear ya, my friend... there are those moments which we would NEVER wanna let go of.. and yet, they just pass... like any other... (sigh)
You have captured that longing and feeling so beautifully in this one shot... really nice!
