on a night such as this -
how are you? good day,
what is the time?
may I? you may
let's go for a walk
i'll take up a ride
on a bicycle!
we could walk or we'll fly
to the moon don't be silly
i want you right here
it's enough that you're over
it's too much that you're near
let's give up (let's not)
i think of too much
i think of too little
maybe we've lost touch
with what we wanted to say
took too long in the thinking
the moment is now
the poem is inking
slowly but surely
(let's just take our time)
there's only one moment
and that is now, we've done it, it's over, we've made our
rhyme
it's too late it is gone
the moment has flown
what did it look like?
could we have known?
or just grasped like a straw
it didn't exist
it was in illusion;
moments are mist.

Nice one, I like the driving rhythm and spontaneity!

wow. i just chanced upon this while reading through the archives and got blown away.
this reminds me strongly of eliot, the love song of j alfred prufrock in particular. the style not the sentiments, that is.
