An Afternoon's Dream

Some moments were born to define millennia, beyond your life and mine 
Some hide unheeded in relentless corners of a restless mind 
And last night I wove some dreams for a much younger me and someone like you
Into Jasmine gardlands for our wedding night, thresholds of marigolds for the twilight 
Some moments sweeten our passage to the moon, darkening everything beyond and before
And yet twirl giddiness into life as do glitzy plastic spin-tops
When the spinning stops, some moments remain bruised onto memories' heavy breasts
Some dreams melt into tomorrow's snowfall on 
distant, silent, sacred crests 
And as monsoons bleed into words, sprouting multi-colored pangs
