That Moment


Original DDE™ surrealistic art entitled “Into The Mystic” by: rob kistner © 7/6/24
 

 That night
that moment
that image
will never dim

emblazoned into my heart

the soft flickering pulse
of distant lightning
above the willows
of our quiet street

my eyes following
your graceful silhouette

backlit

moving away from me
into the falling rain

the taste of you
so sweet on my lips

if you are lucky
you will carry one night
with you

my gaze held fast
until there was nothing
just your blurring image
fading
into the chill downpour

the sweet memory
of that night’s
vital passion
warmed me
as did the promise
there would be others

but no warning

if you are lucky
you will carry one night
with you

no warning
of the bitter cold
that would set upon my world

no warning
that distant image
would burn forever
in my longing heart

no warning
that taste of you
sweet on my lips
would be my last

if you are lucky
you will carry one night
one precious night
with you
