Beyond the moment

 

Your eyes steal you away:

the steely prison of the moment

cannot stop your escape.

Baggage remains unclaimed,

discarded, abandoned,

shed in the journey

beyond this moment.


The shadow of a kiss

stays, soft and silent,

imprinted on your lips

like unspoken words

held back for fear

of losing them.


The moment has stolen you

in its moon tide;

sails,

winged with wind,

draw you distant

to the echo

of a sound

yet to be made.
