Idle moments, forgotten dreams. Listless wanderings, raucous play and empty hearts, bleeding away the foul nights. What is a moment? Come take a walk through the infinite second; void of definition, standard or law. Come and watch with me. The sordid dens filled with debauchery; the lonely houses drowning in darkness; the enchanting thrill of lovers’ chase; hearts stolen in the quiet night; nightmares frightened off with the touches of a lover. Come, let’s discover the possibilities of one single, droplet of time. The eyes that meet; the friendly greet; lovers we lose; the farewells we choose; Lifted hearts tempted and lost, to frivolous imaginings at great cost. Come and see the multitudes of fantasies; donated or taken in a moment. The first kiss we grant on tender lips; passions ignited under the blessed light of stars; to wandering hands prying into locked chests; cruel bargains stolen and delivered in secret touches. The people agreed to; those consumed without consent. All in a single moment. One fragment can narrate endless stories. Come and lose ourselves in the worlds we shape for each other. Blossoming loves; petty arguments won; promises made and broken; lascivious thirst for skin on skin; fights turned brutal, burning, raging in the dead hours; shattered trust; bitter confusion; stinging remorse; the pulse of regret tapping under the skin. We feel so much in one second. Together, a seething, roiling mass of humanity laid bare. A connective unit, ignoring it’s separate millions of limbs. Let’s marvel at this spectacle.

Defining A Moment
Idle moments, forgotten dreams. Listless wanderings, raucous play and empty hearts, bleeding away the foul nights. What is a moment? Come take a walk through the infinite second; void of definition, standard or law. Come and watch with me. The sordid dens filled with debauchery; the lonely houses drowning in darkness; the enchanting thrill of lovers’ chase; hearts stolen in the quiet night; nightmares frightened off with the touches of a lover. Come, let’s discover the possibilities of one single, droplet of time. The eyes that meet; the friendly greet; lovers we lose; the farewells we choose; Lifted hearts tempted and lost, to frivolous imaginings at great cost. Come and see the multitudes of fantasies; donated or taken in a moment. The first kiss we grant on tender lips; passions ignited under the blessed light of stars; to wandering hands prying into locked chests; cruel bargains stolen and delivered in secret touches. The people agreed to; those consumed without consent. All in a single moment. One fragment can narrate endless stories. Come and lose ourselves in the worlds we shape for each other. Blossoming loves; petty arguments won; promises made and broken; lascivious thirst for skin on skin; fights turned brutal, burning, raging in the dead hours; shattered trust; bitter confusion; stinging remorse; the pulse of regret tapping under the skin. We feel so much in one second. Together, a seething, roiling mass of humanity laid bare. A connective unit, ignoring it’s separate millions of limbs. Let’s marvel at this spectacle.
