Captured moment in time
words phrased just right
heart spilled on the page
to be mopped up
with the dawn's first light

like a dream, once vivid
now forgotten
like a love, once wild
now lost
hands running through hair
won't make it return
though you try
a prayer

forgotten poem
missed chance
lost love
second glance
abandonded child
grieving wife
stray cat
wasted life
balloon floating in the breeze
a wallet lost
a treasure found
a kite caught in a tree
divorce papers
not yet signed
poet running
out of rhyme
his mind tries
to rekindle
that magic spark divine
but all that's left
is the gnawing question
of what he's doing
with his time.

Wow, I think I might have to kill myself now. **gnaws on wrist** (I liked it, thought it was true to life.)
