The Lost Moment Poem by guillermo veloso

We felt those Antilles breezes
Part the palmy leaf
We felt the soft night tide
Slip slowly upon the beach
We stole our whispers in shadows, with
Moon our confessor and stars
Our witnesses
Moment and this moment alone
Instant and this instant alone
All that is observed and all that is hidden the
Heart shall forgive, the
Moon will absolve
Love of the moment is the greatest of all
She must withstand the furies of a thousand thoughts
Hurled in anger, fear and couched in stone
She must hold firm in the storm as the eye passes and
The maelstrom returns.
Time devours the moment's resigned offering
Time passes like the storm
Though time returns
Moment does not
Love Lost
A sigh in a lifetime of breaths
Never breathed again
