Moments

"I want a hundred or maybe two thousand...."

Moments

I want moments,
I want romance.
I want each step 
of your dance.

I want to scream 
up at your balcony
in the heavy rain
only your name,
only your name.

I want to serenade 
you softly in the dark.
I want each moment.
I want each spark. 

I want moments -
dear gods there’s
not a moment
yet to spare -
so many moments.
I want moments
with you - 
all the moments
that you can bear.

I want a hundred
or maybe two thousand 
very definite, individual
moments together;
now immediately,
and going on
into the distance,
forever.
