Each day i seize to fade, 
Every waking moment and breath
We are all slowly drifting away.

Bitter Road

Take the moment, then, my heart and home
Take it and be gone.
Leave me rising dust and memories
To kill me when alone.

On the Road To Damascus

It was on the road to Damascus 
When suddenly I was struck
It wasn’t a damascene moment
Just a great big pick up truck

Time

The time I spend
Spent thinking of you
Memories of the past
I fall behind
I am caught by the moment
A moment in time

Premium Member Before Love

An undisturbed
               moment,
like unruffled
               water
ere the storm.

Each Moment

A sort of fluttery glamour
Unlike any that flew by.
By most less appreciative looked on.
Unvaryingly dull. Mothed sky.
Form: Rhyme

Abandonment

Running off with tomorrow
divorcing today
The moment left orphaned

Moment

A child’s smile, a gleam of delight
Eyes wide clear and bright
New world full of firsts
Excitement simmers then bursts

Crossroads

Winning and learning
or
losing and dying
a choice made
exclusive

Every
pass in time
we are at our
oldest moment--also,
youngest.

I lay awake at night 
And I think my thoughts are
Relentless 
I need a moment to breath
I needed a moment to vent this

Never about the mileage
but about the miles
Always about the moment lived
— escaping time

Skirts were short in sixty nine,
my speech teacher wore them well
sitting ON her desk in class,
please, no speaking now!

The storm has passed, now we must move on,
"don’t even try to understand," know only
that we enjoyed this moment together

Here and Now

In a drop of water
a universe.
In a peony
poetic verse.
In a child’s face
sweet purity.
In just one moment
eternity…

That moment in marriage
When the husband clues in 
As to what it takes
To manage the household

Candlelight Witnesses

We dance in silence
Like it's the very first time
Lost in the moment
Candlelight shadows and I
Witness your beauty anew

Tears

A pristine crystal droplet For but a moment, suspended Cascades with abandonment And splashes on my sorrow
sad

Misplaced Items

Oh, those darned things are
Never there when I need them!
Always somewhere else.
Usually left idle
In that moment I forget.

Floating In a Moment

Two friends together speaking in silence.
Nature's mirror
reflecting
meaning.
Peace
