Moments
For Elizabeth Briano

So even just a moment
A brief moment
Basking in your energy
For what I will stretch
Into enough
To bridge the gaps
Between being able
To see you smile
At me again

Although all I ask
Is for a small collection of clusters
Of seconds spent
What, for you, may be
In passing
But for me will be
Lasting in its effect

See I’ve become so addicted
And there is no other supply
And so this last twenty minutes
Is all I ask
For the soul
As I am sending you off
With pieces of mine

So this last smile
That gleams at the corners
Like a distant star
Is all I ask for
So I can burn it into my brain
And tattoo it on the back of my soul

Shine star shine
But remember to fall back
Down to your roots sometimes

Fly bird fly
And know there is always
A bough upon which to perch
On my tree of life

I will be here
And you will be there
Both doing battle daily
Let us share war stories
And strategies
Smokesmilessensations
Softcaressessilence
Some “what is” s
Some now time
Like the world could end tomorrow
Because it could

Let me say goodbye
To you one last time

Let me send some vibrations
Set forth from my heart
Affecting the air between us
Entering you and seating
Deep in places
Safe and untouched

Let me look you in the eye
And say “I Love You”
In ways I never have before
All I ask is that you spare
A short collection of seconds
In which we will hold eachother
Tightly
Like it’s the last
Believing that it’s not
But just in case

Let me kiss you
For the first time
For the last time
Just in case
It’s one of our last
Moments…

Who knows where paths
Can lead two souls
How far apart and how close
Let us be and love
Like it is one of
Our last
Moments…

Hey, there's never
The last time or
The first time ever
Not even when
You hobble
Down the street
Anxtious as hell
Pissed off, tired
Hangover
Knowing that
In twenty minutes
The store will be closed
No booze for you
For
Another twenty four hours
Well, there's still hope
Which is the God's given gift
To all of us
Even to those who
Have never
Had a proper chance to
Meet the love of their lives
Much less the perfect love
Or
Just something
Resembling love
All the hobbling eventually
Goes to the eternity
Just like
Our lives
So
Be happy...
