time
muffles and mutes
many things…
the brilliance of diamonds
the surprise of a first kiss
when held to the test all
dim and fade
u hold on to
the shadows of memories
laughter drifting on waves
whispered passions
a hand held too tight
unbelievably
such things diminish
the thought of them
slip through finger tips
as deftly as sand
trickles through an hourglass
dedicated u document
moments
beginnings
endings
glimmering shots
harvested by hands
crafting puzzles to
put together a life
in vain we grind
time not our ally
as those moments
de materialize
our minds locked
in moments less
brilliant less
fantastic less
joyous the mundane
is remembered most
the minutiae of
tasks is what last
grandiose gestures
trickery the mind sorts
through in time
we miss not the romance
but the very invitation
to
dance
