Moments

All the great loves
Kinda makes you wonder
Where they all went wrong
What was
The deciding moment
The turning point
Maybe you'll never know
Till it's all said and done
Many years later
When your older
And maybe wiser
You'll see the great mistakes
In a different light
But time doesn't stand still
And there are never
Those famous do overs
Like in the movies
Just regrets
And even some smiles
Because no matter how bad
The ending....
There were moments...
Those good times
Etched in timespace
That you would never take back
Rare and fleeting memories
Great loves....
Great pain...
No going back...
No going forward...
Just moments frozen in time
Pages in a journal
That will last
Until the pages turn to dust
And simply fade from time

Breathe...Just A Little

Flashes
In the sky
Crashing thunder
Intensity in silence
Craziness in the night
Last thing I expected
Is the thing I needed most
Awkward silence
Awakened old desires
Long thought gone
A stranger understood
Words unspoken
Silent expressions
Said with the eyes
That quiet intensity
Always draws me in
And so they danced
All night long
Into the dawn
Two beasts in the night
Predator and prey
Tangled up in the moment
Breathe.... just a little
Like that great wave
Crashes on the rocks
And quietly retreats
When the planets
Align just right
And flashes fill the night...
