Slave of the Moment
Moment makes
Lovers out of strangers
Moment changes
From hello to intimacy
Moment
Instigates me and you
To jump over the barriers
Seemed so impassable
A moment ago.
Moment in a pirate
It plunders my dreams
Shakes my life boat
Leaves me marooned
With no shore in sight
Moment
Caresses my heart.
Coaxes me to follow
The scent of an unseen
Unreachable fantasy.
Moment
Inebriates me
With all the essence
Of future wildflowers
Brings tear on my eyes
With the pungent smell
Of the lost dreams
Like a swollen river
It overwhelms me
And induces me
Coerces me
To be its slave
Time after time.
