Once

If my eyes behold thee
your spoils meet my loins
yet the spaces find its stream
travelling through lands
Just once

I lived in the craddle
launched my fears
soiled my neck
recast my scenes
just to say never
just once I live

Laughing at the size of life
taking turns when I expect naught
just once I live


Life is once
