Some Moments

I wish
Some moments
Would last
Forever
To shield us
From those
We'd rather forget

I wish these moments
Would stop time
Hold us in place
We
Together
Forever

It would bind us
As we kneel
Together
Paying homage
To our garden

Or sunset walks
On lonely bush tracks
Heading toward
That illuminated cross
Where an old man
Spoke to God

Bruschetta brunch
On a Sunday morning
A simple food
A simple joy
To share
With you

When all all is spent
An sweat
We fall asleep
In each others arms
Under a whirling
Tropical fan
And I dream
It lasts forever

That moment
I see your smile
On return from work
I would die
For it
To last forever

But it never did
And I
Feel
I'm the walking dead
Mourning what was
And what is

I don't want this
These feelings
To last
Forever
