Lasting Instance (poem)
There in the quiet softness of the night
She calls to me with her familiar song
Enthralling me again to dance along
To share this lasting instance of delight
-
The instance of a lasting final kiss
There drifting past the ocean of your eyes
Is waiting in a heaven made for this
Far grander than the kiss can realize
-
Alas so crass a world that won’t prolong
The instances your kisses can ignite
What does it know about two lovers’ plight
Who in each other’s realm do now belong
-
What is the passion which will set us free
That instance which slips past eternity
