OF STOLEN MOMENTS

I lie frozen, staring at the dark 
Trying to decipher my broken dreams, 
My gaze captured by the hypnotic dance 
Of fingers moving in endless streams.
Picking out infinite cruel shards 

Of countless precious memories,
Embedded in my heart, it bleeds 

Even as it rejoices, in tender reveries.

A relentless procession of moments

Pass through my pensive tonality

And I ponder my delusive thoughts

That threaten to drown my sanity.

Emerge from the depths of my fantasy

Come, let’s step together into the sky,

Free falling, at the speed of sound

Hearts alive, as wind whizzes by.

If we have only moments to share

Let’s live them with passion and joy

When they become shards in my heart

Their bittersweet pain I will enjoy.
