hold this moment in your hands
a rippled pool atop an open palm
and watch droplets roll off your
weathered skin
waterfall
water falling
water hits the ground
allow the earth to claim this moment
compress, constrict, confine it
until each drop becomes a diamond
in the rough
crystallise
crystal clear
crystals in your eyes
shed this moment like tears of
euphoria, and tell me, does it taste
like love on your wet lips? now
swallow it whole
breathe
breathe deep
breathe life into your lungs
feel this moment fill the cavities
within your aching soul, a remedy
to your every hurt, a smaller heart
inhabiting your own
beat
heartbeat
two heartbeats in your chest
carry this moment in your veins
until crimson becomes synonymous
with us, that the moment never dies
until we do
moment
momentary
this moment is temporary
