moments ago

a coming,
        though in moments ago

my lifetime circled
        in this touch

of moments ago

your finger traced
        that which is yours

just moments ago

does one spiral upward in flame
just by touch?
                                    yes

ah, this moment
                               now gone

left lingering, this feel, like ivy, climbs
twines
rhymes

that moment of you

in truth,
in just
in senses that in a moment

was the lifetime, met

was the lifeline, set

no regret,

in this moment

  of that moment ago

       I shall spiral upward in flame,

                                                         yes

enjoyed the poem, the last part was especially beautiful.

Brutal and mocking but always therea crutch for enmity's saddest glare"

Oh my I think the flame
turns to a bonfire
surpassing sky reaching
singing rise soul rise

You burn from inside out
and I am molten metal


For the moment swallows all things blinding our eyes to Heaven.

Decaflame,

Sometimes a moment is all it takes to fill a lifetime.  I know you don't understand what  it is that I'm talking about.  Just know that it is so, my friend.  Just know...

You sure spiral upward with poetry! This is delightful!

"Left lingering, this feel, like ivy, climbs
                twines
                rhymes.

What a great illustration that is.....great writing Decaflame!
