Moment to Moment

Moment to Moment

Tormented again in the moment;

Nothing remains forever,

Lingers thoughts in pain.

 Leaves flown all over

In the dust some remain,

Tormented again and again.

Tormented again in ecstasy;

Strings strummed in pain,

Every beat breaks the body 

Rises over and over again

Tormented again with beats;

Every step a story to tell,

Every arch reaches the sky,

The fingers sing the song of knell.

Brows shoot the arrows of love

Caught again in the mesh it dove

Tormented again and again.

Tormented again in rituals of yore;

Again they come, again they tore.

Streamers of heart, Confetti shower

Wet in tears under the bower.

Tormented again, here they stand-

The world revolves in the loveless band.

The whirlwind blows, creates the tempest

In she dives, a blur of wind.

Tormented again here they stand.
