I wish I had a moment
Just for a quiet repose
No pressures
No judgement
No endless thoughts
Perhaps today
Just for a short time
I can take a deep breath
And find a calm inside
A moment of tranquility
Where I can relax
Without the stresses
I face everyday
Without the pain
My body inflicts
Without being haunted
By my yesterdays
… perhaps for a moment

I am finally back to taking part in Fandango’s Friday Flashback (FFF)… giving a chance for new people to see old posts and remind loyal readers of days gone by. This poem was original posted here as a response to a daily prompt from Fandango of the word “moment”… I hope you enjoy it!
The moment I said hello
My world changed
When your attention
Your touch
Your taste
All drew me in
Somehow we just fit
And every moment was alive
I can’t say why it ended
Sometimes these things just do
But it left me with
Insatiable memories
Me still wanting you
I’ll settle for the next best thing
A friendship built on love
That never went away
But some days I still wonder
Can we get a second chance
A chance to once again
Rekindle what might have been
With your attention
Your touch
Your taste
All that drew me in
That night so long ago
When I first said hello
The moment I said hello
My world changed
When your attention
Your touch
Your taste
All drew me in
Somehow we just fit
And every moment was alive
I can’t say why it ended
Sometimes these things just do
But it left me with
Insatiable memories
Me still wanting you
I’ll settle for the next best thing
A friendship built on love
That never went away
But some days I still wonder
Can we get a second chance
A chance to once again
Rekindle what might have been
With your attention
Your touch
Your taste
All that drew me in
That night so long ago
When I first said hello
