I am just a moment
And that moment fades away
When the newness wears off
And my gold
Fades to gray.
No more than a brief thought
That flutters through the mind
So quickly forgotten
And so swiftly
Left behind.
My memory not worth much
Is foggy at best
You remember I existed
But have you forgotten
The rest?
Like the feelings I gave you
When we first spoke
Goodnights every evening
Good mornings
When we woke?
The glimmer that shined
From the sunshine in my eyes
When I whispered your name
Through muffled
Soft sighs.
That seems only yesterday
And yet here we are
I wave goodbye
because you drifted so far;
you don’t even see
That I want you to stay
I pushed too much
With the feelings
That I couldn’t keep at bay.
But it was only a moment
And I no longer glitter
The shine is all gone
The life in me dimmer,
I am only a moment
And that moment fades away
When the newness wears off
And my gold
Turns to gray.

Beautifully penned - albeit sad still a joy to read. I see you arealso a fellow artist - why not include an image with your postings - I would love to see them.
If I had a piece that would work with a poem I would consider it, but I have an art page where I share painting on my facebook account.... My writing are a different art altogether
Well I always pop a work with my postings here and don't worry if they go together - today's postings are certainly not really compatible but it doesn't worry me.
