Remember!  the conversation we had? I clearly remember,
It was raining that night.
I asked if it was her that you chose, You stuttered
On your face i saw fright
I did not want to fight, i pushed you away
you grabbed me, then held me tight.

I felt like being swallowed by the earth under my feet,
You lifted my chin, looked into my eyes
God! you smelt so sweet
Slowly you whispered, you all i will ever need
i got lost in that eyes,  for a second all the rage did subside

I then remembered that this happened before, I remember the lies
i felt this saddened emotion,  from my soul it arise
The truth you telling me, a masquerade,
It's always in disguise.

Tears and anger cloaks me, like the dark in absence of light
i pull myself lose from your lifeless grip,
This just doesn't feel right, you not even holding me tight

I'm looking at this stranger standing in front of me
Unrecognizable, he starts to slowly speak
shut up! shut up!
all you do is lie, i gave you my heart,
Please! I don't want to cry

Is she worth it? I will die for you! look how i cry for you?
All the promises you made, This was all lies too
You ripped out my heart, stomped on it with your shoe
Do hear what i'm saying? You broke me in two

I'm sorry, is this all you can muster?
I gave you my life, my soul, What about her!?
What did she ever do!? to ever deserve you
did she stick to you when you were down, i thought our love was like glue

I guess this was a lie also, this also wasn't true

                          As you turn to leave,
                emotions a sunder, you din't look back
                   tears my companion,  I fall to my knees.
betrayal, for me is worst than hate,
it causes hate, it opens that one place
you never want to visit,  locked in your hearts space
the one you carry on your face

Roses grace the sky in a bouquet,
And a few fall down to me.
The last fleeting rays of yellow sunlight
Shoot up into the sky like fireworks,
Illuminating the beach for a brief moment.
A cool breeze whips across the shore,
And the sands drift in my face,
The sands that tell the stories of all
Who have watched these pink moments before.
The ocean whispers to me,
Its enticing scent pulling me in,
Saying, “the world is not so bad,
Watch this beautiful sunset.
Everything will be alright.”
The last rose petal falls,
And the clock reads 8:12 pm.
The taste of salt lingers on my tongue
As I turn and head for home.
The sunset says,
“Come back tomorrow!”
The inspiration for this poem was from this essay on NPR's website called "Pink Moments". Here is the link for the essay if you would like to read it (https://thisibelieve.org/essay/11439/); it's a gorgeous work that I did not attempt to copy but that inspired me to tell my own "pink moment" story.

Have you ever had that moment?
You’re standing on the mountain peak, for that one moment.

For that one moment, I can almost hear angels singing,
I can see the true beauty.

And it isn’t just the vast sky above me dotted with clouds,
It isn’t just a waterfall, or a desert scene of hot white rock,
Or majestic tress standing tall as to say, “I am”.
Or the stars coming together with their mother moon to almost dance in the twilight,
And say, “I am here, and so are you, and this is IT.”

It isn’t just as if I’m walking, down a long dirt path,
Lined with fireflies, and the sweet breeze accompanying me like
An old friend that I never met but somehow know.

It’s something to do with the birds chatter, and the child’s laugh,
The bliss of some sort of innocence, a lack of need for things
That I can have, but don’t bring me above the mortal, material, mundane.

No real understandable words, nothing really sets it off,
But it goes, as a shooting, pure assemblage
But its followed by deep chills, and some surrenderance upward.
Some serene, almost lonesomeness,
Yet accompanied by all the souls of the world.

I’m not self, but everything,
For one fraction of timelessness

and it’s almost like it all makes sense
It's set off by the scene of nature, and brings a split second of chills and unified peace.

Who am I,
I don’t know anymore,
I lost myself long ago.
I lost pieces of myself,
In those inner landscapes.
I’m struggling to find the pieces,
I can’t remember their names.

I forgot how I got here.
Where do I go from here?

Oh fallen flower, how your colour burns more brightly ensconced upon this  weathered pew.  Fate, it seems has brought you to this resting place to soften its callus surface. Though your time left upon this crag is fleeting, your place is here and now.

I thought you knew
Or maybe you do not
Your quiet composure
Penetrated my thoughts
We had a moment
And time slowed down
A second of eye contact
Has me turned around
Your smile says it all
And that glimmer in your eye
Maybe you don’t know
But if you asked I’d lie

The time we talk....
The time we meet.....
Is short......
It comes and goes....
But never stays.....
Makes us wait....
Forever and ever....
But don't loose hope....
Believe in the love....
We have.....
And make the.....
Stars believe.....
The moment we have....
Is the true gem....
No one can take away....
The love....
The strength.....
All that's needed....
Is your lovely smile....
And it will...
Be all good....
Forever after...
Even if it's....
For a while.......
Moment, wait, love

"It's okay, you're forgiven."
I wipe her tears while she cries,

And smile, feelings hidden.
I struggle to look in her eyes.

I took as much of her pain as I could.
Then balled up in the shower alone
to tremble and sob and groan.
During this difficult time I was motivated by believing that I was forgiven by Christ who did this exact thing to me in his death.

Valentine's day again,
Your **** grin
It makes my head spin
Loving you this much, must truly be a sin
I dim,
The lights my hand on your thigh
Move closer, let me get lost in your eyes
You whisper… you’ll love me till the day that you die
We kiss, sweet
It tastes like honey pie
I loved you in past lives, this shouldn’t be a surprise
Who thought we’d be together again, certainly not I
Not being together I’d breakdown and cry
Stop it silly, she whispers, you know you all mine
You’ll always and forever be my only valentine
Our lips embrace, this feels sublime
I go down on one knee, I think it’s time
I produce the ring, god look how it shines
My dear will you marry me, I don’t have any rhymes
I will love you for all eternity, even though I don’t have many dimes
She shrieks! Your love is what counts!
Yes! I’ll marry you, how could there have been any doubt
I’ll count,
My blessings from this day out
You made me the happiest, I feel I can shout
We embrace hearts connected as one
Convey this message to the universe,
Today I have won.
Those moments that brings meaning to your life. That changes the core of who you are, whether good or bad...those are the moments we should be living, for those are the ones with lessons.
