I gave you what you needed to hear,
Let's take it day by day.
I didn't wish that upon us, no.
I am the reckless
The one who rebels passionately,
I don't want day by day.
Because I crave here and now
That fleeting spark we both feel,
I dare you catch it.
Live it.
This moment will never resurrect,
Live this feeling
Even just for a while,
We might never have a moment such as this again.
No use looking now
I'm gone
to BEING
coverings left
in heaps on the floor/sandals
shot like stars across the room
no use looking there
mostly it was lies/no matter now
yesterday's time falls heavy at my feet
poised uncovered trembling
at the peak of sharper pyramids than these
invisible without my time
IS IN BEING ENOUGH
not now digging relics
in a future blasted out of infinite
the moment winged
Sweetling, try not to forget.
Lest in trying, you remember;
She who blows too hard may get
Flame from the deceptive ember.
Let the attic of your mind
Keep whatever stores are in it ;
Do not look too much behind,
Lest you tread the present minute.
I shall pluck the moments now —
Only folly weeps to miss one;
Let some later lover's brow
Wrinkle at the thought of this one!
You seemed a caryatid melting
Into the wind-blown, dark blue temple of the sky.
But you bent down as I came closer, breaking the image.
When I passed, you raised your head
And blew the little feather of a smile upon me.
I caught it on open lips and blew it back.
And in that moment we loved,
Although you stood still waiting for your lover,
And I walked on to my love.
