ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS
by enbiji

It was one of those moments, when she looked in my eyes
She parted her lips and I parted my thighs
My first sapphic taste and I lost all control
Seduced by a beauty who drank from my soul

It was one silly tryst, really shouldn't have mattered
But that was the moment my certainty shattered
The love of a woman or love of a man
I've spent my whole life trying to find who I am

It was one of those moments, he tore me asunder
No love in his heart, just rage roaring like thunder
A deep scar of pain in my soul is now burned
And when he was done, his two friends took their turn

Descended from warriors cleansed from their land
Alcohol anger's all they understand
Just like their seed, their rage penetrates me
And now rage-red anger is all I can see

It was one of those moments, you could hear a pin drop
In that instant before he was shot by a cop
He took his last breath under blue cloudless skies
Then died in the street right in front of our eyes

In that moment, the horror and shock that I felt
Left a cold icy fear in my heart that won't melt
That moment now occupies space in my head
A piece of my soul bloodstained permanent red

Moment by moment, your life passes by
From the moment you're born till the instant you die
Some like a flash, some stretch on forever
Some change your world like the flip of a lever

These moments define you, right down to your core
Define you? They ARE you, no less and no more
Moments of joy, or of pain, or of strife
Just more twisted knots in the thread of your life
