The moments were the treasure

Trees sway, the night sings

Mullions divide a saffron glow

Casting shadows, the bars of my asylum materialize

Stretch across the floor

I would not escape, tell me to go


Candles flicker, I

Heartbeats measure intermittent rhythm

The music of our time takes form, takes flight

Reaching out to you

losing myself again, I would taste love again


Glasses clink, jazz fills the background

Sophia (la Bella donna) marks the moments

Our healing and you’re leaving is taking hold

A last kiss goodbye

My devotion, my salient silent suffrage, worthless to all but me.


I am caught in moments to surreal to be real

I am trapped by a love which may wane or abate

But from which I can not escape

“Stand still in the mine field, accept your fate”

The moments were the treasure
