For One Sweet Moment

My canvas in the sky whited out

The moment I said goodbye to myself

Damned my refection with a sickened stare

And kissed the salty lips of a stranger

Of me

Every empty promise made

Just a blackened reminder

An arrow shot straight towards the soul

Flying on broken wings

How I have tried

To hold the sun

For its infinite warmth

And window into the sureness of tomorrow

Oh, and how I have begged

For the comforting cool of the moon

To close these stolen eyes

If only for one sweet moment

Nicely written Vince. I love how the poem speaks to the soul. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much! A lot of my work has to do with soul searching, actually! :)
