I tried to
coax and cajole
that moment,
toiled to nurture
and nourish it,
begged it to stay,
tried to soothe it
with poetry,
strove to sing it a lullaby,
lured it with love,
attempted to
make it blind
with passion,
held it in my arms
caressed its forehead
with warmth and
kissed its eyelids ….
Yet the moment
like every other ones
went away,
without pausing
without looking back.
