A moment of your time

Let love be performed, as required.


Let desire flow, as it will.

Let excitement mount, as it must.


Let synchronized pleasure commence.


Let the hydraulic imperative be obeyed!


Now is the moment of peak sensation.

 



Let rhyme be used where it helps.


Let rhythm bounce when it can.


Let words speak to the heart.


Let form magnify sense.


Let the poem take flight!


Now is the moment of inspiration.

 



Let love grow stronger with age.


Let friends share our happiness.


Let thought guide us to wisdom.


Let our children be our epitaphs.


Let life be savored.


Now is a moment of reflection.

 

But ...

 

... Affection outlives passion.

... A good poem needs time to be born.

... Life might not ever make its meaning manifest.

 

Now is a moment of partial understanding.
