Best In A Moment Poems
In the moment,
When a glistening
Snowflake falls to the earth
Washing the ground
In joy and wonder,
Peaceful silencing the
Darkness, the heartless
In the moment,
When a starry eyed thought
Lifts its smile, inspiring
The soul to embrace music
In notes of faith, stirring
Awake the breathless
Prayers, gentling grace
In the moment,
When a reluctant kiss
Apologizes for the fears,
The quiet tears,
Lost and lonely, faded
Like fires, sparks to smoking
Embers, ashes of the past
In the moment,
When insecurities thrive
Walking like the shadows
Along the oaks and pines
Imitating strength
Only known to those
Who listen to the feelings
Caressing the memories
In the moment,
When light replaces darkness,
Hope supersedes doubts,
Laughter inspires the child
Inside every heart who knows
There is a God who gives
More love than we can believe
More love than we can hold
More love than we can know
In the moment,
When His love falls down,
Erasing the past, the fears and tears
With promises for the new,
Beginnings that lead to assurance
That His Son has forgiven
The soul who believes in His gift –
The gift of eternal peace
The gift of everlasting life –
With the God who created each moment!
In the moment,
When I believed
I discovered the answer
To my every need
I learned what it means
To love unconditionally
And to know joy that is like
The gentlest peace, overflowing
My doubts and insecurities
Promising to bring me through every grief
With love that can mend every heartbreak within
Love that can silence even the mess that is ME
Deep into meditation
I finally let loose useless desires -
those desires that in the end
have been so meaningless
I feel myself lost in a moment -
which to one like me implies
always being caught up
in things for which
no catching up is needed
except in others’ expectations for me
In my mind’s eye,
am I seeing God?
Love for everyone floods my body.
In a moment of cessation,
bliss blossoms
There is a melancholy in the air
And an emptiness deep inside
A flux of emotions overwhelm me
Rushing in like a rising tide
The sun scintillates the breaking waves
Creating diamonds upon every swell
Each one is reminiscent
Of the eyes that said farewell
Bright and glorious for just a moment
Then fading as quickly as it came
A wondrous gift, although brief
Has outlived it’s moment of fame
Yet a fingertip beneath the surface
Can create a false illusion
So at the waters edge
Our love has no conclusion
I wish that I could stay forever
Just outside of reality
Avoiding the obvious truth
And all it’s brutality
But alas, I shall not grieve
For that which cannot be
Instead I am very grateful
For that moment you gave to me
The memory of your magnificence
Is etched within my mind
You may disappear from my sight
But within my heart you are confined
My Forever wasn’t even a second,
Not even a blink of my eye,
As your “beautiful” sped past me today,
Leaving me pondering “Why?”
Why did our eyes reach out to each other,
Why are you inside of my mind,
Why have you taken over my every thought,
Why did you leave me behind.
These thoughts shook my hands today,
We could’ve met for real, however,
These thoughts of you are all I have,
These thoughts are my after Forever.

Lost in a moment
A breath of time
A single point
On the worlds spine
A single minute
Frozen in space
Held by a kiss
Held in its place
It tingles
And shimmers
And shakes
And trimmers
It rolls
And rocks
In vicious
Aftershocks
But it holds
And lasts
Erasing
The past
Caught in time
A web of desire
Caught in a touch
A feeling of fire
A click of a shutter
A flick of a brush
A moment captured
By passion and lust
Feeling you tremble
Seeing you shake
Feeling the heat
The two of us make
Longing
And yearning
Throbbing
And burning
Moaning
And gasping
The moment
Is lasping
Grasping
Im holding
As I watch
You folding
Into my arms
Into my lap
Between my legs
Safely they wrap
Around your back
Pulling you close
Making you feel
What you need most
Look in your face
Look in your eyes
Kissing you soft
As the firelight dies
Feeling your mouth
Wet on my lips
Drinking you in
Your taste I sip
Running my tongue
Down your skin
Tasting your salt
Where my mouth has been
Your aching
And pressing
As your slowly
Undressing
Im touching
And feeling
Your body
So willing
So hot
You get
making
you wet
making you
moan
making you
sweat
Lost in this moment
This breath of time
This single point
Frozen in time
Holding you tight
As you fall asleep
This moment this memory
Forever ill keep
There's a million little molecules and particles of pieces of things I never even knew,
Breaths of air and ashes filled with hopes and fears,
The taste of honey and the silent yet droning ringing in my ears,
And I can't wake up if waking up means being awake,
Because there is a peace in this life that someone's willing to take,
Stealing is one thing but destroying with purpose is another,
No matter how diluted or succumbed to evil that reason may be.
So many,
So many electric little sparks of light in my eyes,
I can't see beyond my scope of life,
You know it's just a field of one hundred and fifty feet,
In any direction even if you are there to see,
So take my expansive yet narrow view of the world,
And expand on my visions to bring change to new lives,
And I don't want to breathe if breathing means taking away,
From some other poor soul that's waiting to breathe today,
Or some life that is breathing for the very first time,
And here I am wasting their precious first words on this rhyme,
I can't leave this once lonely moment alone,
Because being alone isn't even possible in this place,
Look around you one second and see someone else's face,
And if you can't see that far or far enough to take in,
Then get somewhere closer and breathe something in,
Because life isn't lonely or sad or meant to be lived all alone,
We are all parts of a puzzle waiting for you to bring home,
And home is truly wherever your heart is,
Just come home,
Don't live for this moment just to die making a stand,
Against something that someone has no choice but to be,
Or someone else's happiness and every little victory,
Because your life is so somber and you can't find love,
Open your eyes and see that the entirety of everything you see is made of pure love,
You are loved,
So love back...
Don't hate.
Don't... Fight everything.
Don't be sad and alone.
Feel life everywhere you go,
Live life everyday,
Part of something far more.
Soon dawn at plum morn
though pearly moon still keeps watch,
for the golden end.
Afternoon's recalled in dreams
adorned in wild color schemes.
Memory Lane sleeps
as orange noon is coming,
after dusk scarlet.
Lemon-lime hours revisit
and bluebird returns vivid.
Pink skies are coming
a jade past is repeating,
since tomorrow's gone.
Time's fallen asleep, at last
skewing the future and past.
Every moment is gone in a moment.
Do not save your best for tomorrow, or an hour from now.
Do not store your favorite blouse for another moment.
Moments pass swiftly, and we are not in charge of them.
Whether or not we have ten more or one more or no more
Is in someone else's hands.
Every moment should be seized and cherished.
Every second should be revered for the opportunity it is.
If you have the opportunity to love, show compassion, share,
Do it at this moment.
If you have the chance to say something nice,
to do something kind, to administer help, to lift someone up
from the depths of surprise, do not wait for the next moment.
Sometimes the next moment never comes.
Someday when you enter the Spiritual Kingdom you may
have the opportunity to view this moment. What do you want
to see? Who could you have helped or loved?
What stopped you?
For what were you saving your energy?
Every moment is gone in a moment.
Do not think "I can do that tomorrow."
This might be your last moment.
Whatever you can do to be the
best and absolute kindest,, most compassionate
person you know how to be, do that now.
This moment for....
It may be your last.
In a moment
be it naked or dressed
so much can be expressed
20 seconds in a moment.
You caught me when I was falling.
Stared my eyes and felt a flash!
Hearts are flying and made a clash.
20 seconds in a moment.
Caught your smile when I was glaring.
Touched my hands and felt a glam!
Love was realized and made a crash.
20 seconds in a moment.
Caught me up when I was looking.
Sniffed a scent and felt a spark,
New romantics were called us!
20 seconds in a moment.
You caught me when I was flaring.
Goodbye looks and felt me sad.
That’s the end of short story of us.
`
Lost in a moment between now and then
gazing ahead at the moon
Calling your number again and again
maybe I wondered too soon
Balanced alone on the edge of a shelf
clinging to what I believe
Looking at no one except at myself
something I’ve yet to conceive
Destiny answers the memories shown
dreams I have placed on the sill
Dance in the shadows of times I have known
somehow it seems that they will
For here I sit on a couch in the dark
thinking if only you knew
Closing my eyes as my thoughts do embark
how much I am missing you
Every handle on every door
spins as if time has a place
Locking the feeling of love evermore
broken this heart that I trace
Now all I have are these echoes I send
tapering off down the hall
Lost in a moment between now and then
silent in spite of it all

In a moment it can rage
Nothing can stop the storm
Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride
Hold on please, it is almost over
The crest comes
Peace
In the worst june-july
The adrenalin easily drifts by
The sense of knowledge agrees that i am a genious
In a moment of madness,i buy the mountain from him
June-july:township slang for winter
Sense of knowledge:township slang for marijuana
Lost in a stolen moment but we acting like we own it
You say you feel one way but if that was true you would've shown it
Looking forward to the future forgetting about the past
No longer believing the good things will always last but holding on to them as they seem to go by so fast
Finally realizing my happiness is key to me being the best me I can be
You preyed on my weaknesses and this I now see
I am disarming your persona and front of being charming
What I see underneath the sheep’s clothing is alarming
I guess we all have to play the fool once
I’d rather leave than to let you lead me to a path of destruction
No thank you to your presence you have just been a interruption
Now it’s back to the regularly scheduled programming
I know what I deserve is better than you I am better off alone than wasting time with you
Refuse to end up bitter good luck to the other one you telling you with her
Lost in time silly me to think that you were really mine the cuts you left will heal in time
I am in the driver seat the course is mine, God willing someone like you I will never again find
Lost in a moment I don't want you can own it
Your true colors came through it was a matter of time and you've shown it
Two friends together speaking in silence.
Nature's mirror
reflecting
meaning.
Peace
