The Moment

I was the night

that pierced the eyes and walls

that threw you so high you never came down

I was the table

to the meal whose memories last longer

than photographs

I was the doll

now I'm only a giant, I want sunsets to be quiet

you were the heart

that carried me on the wind

to touch the tide at dawn

you were the first

horizon that I saw

conclusions drift, forgotten now

You were the glass, the wine, the toast, the lips

I was the lust, the need, the smiles, the trips

I was the moment that held you

I was the night

that pierced tha eyes and walls

that threw you so high you never came down

you were the flame

who answered my questions with silence surrounding

you

you were the child

you were the impressionable one I gave my time to

You were the glass, the wine, the toast, the lips

I was the lust, the need, the smiles, the trips

I was the moment that held you

Caressing each heart

possessing each heart

I was the moment I held you

I was the moment
