Fragile Moments

Can I write a sonnet for you?

Or maybe a song?

Poem?

Do I have your permission?

 

Sit still

I need to focus

I need you to be in the here and now

To capture this moment so supposedly perfect

To escape your dramatic lessons

 

Don't move

You're ugly when you lack composure

Moments like this are too gorgeous to pass up

At least in contrast to your restlessness

 

Keep quiet

Times like this is when we're supposed to be happy

So shut up and keep calm

I want to draw you out in unmoving words

Before you interrupt the vulnerable silence

 

Step lightly

You make these moments fragile

They're so priceless and rare

I need just a few more moments

 

Can I seize you in this moment?

Just for now?

Please?

Are you willing to allow it?
