The Moment I Saw You
We are so much younger
"we know better than that"
is
what we say
I'm in love with another
you are too
I remember you
we had met in school
You remember me
it is serendipity
We say
" we shouldn't head down that path"
When we enter the river
it is calm and flat
We tell each other
with a glance
"we can't".
One foot follows another
and
into that dangerous river
we
take a chance.
We know the river heads
to
a waterfall
and
in the end
we are bound to take us all.
We don't have a choice.
The water is calm
your lips are soft,
floating
gently down that stream
singing
"life is but a dream. "
At any time we should get out.
You won't let me
and
I won't let you.
We've made our choice.
The warm waters
of
our bodies close
puts
us
half asleep
into
a waking dream
we are hearing things.
As
the pace begins to run
I reach for you
the current is picking up speed
lost in the river moment
we were sure we would be
all that we ever need.
The whiteness of the water
is
screaming at me
the currents of our desires
is picking up speed
Red flags are on the shore
Caution Signs
are glowing
in the sun
The rocky cold waters
are
carrying us all the way through
you grab on to me
I grab on to you
there is calmness
before
we are hurling out
of control
once more
to the precipice corner
of
the water's edge
Our eyes lock
you are looking into mine
desire's fears
blind
like the sun in your eyes.
You are letting go of my hand
rolling
to
the side
I'm not sure if you smile
Your feet are falling fast
holding *******
to
the dirt path.
I look down
into
the tumbling waters
straight to the bottom
to
the rocky reflecting dark pools
of
endless
desire, longings and lies
there is no going back.
The
currents unleashed rolling
are
too fast
too strong
for
that.
Closing my eyes
holding my breath
I take
the
dive
as
a matter of fact
I
went
straight back
to
the moment it all begins
when
I flew head long into you
now
I wonder
how often will
I
play this endless loop
through
just like that.
