A Moment’s Conquest

The sea keeps erasing the prints of my feet
As its waves crush against my legs
The rippling tides caress the hairs on my feet
And the salty breeze thrills my soul
Possessing me, putting me into trance
I feel a presence, then a chill
Making my back tingle

I see the sun falling, gradually
Leaving its residues, and fragments
Scattering across the sky
The clouds filter the fragments
Into assorted streaks hues
Pieces of which bounce off the surface of the water

Oh how I wish this sunset would last for a day
And a day for five and three-sixty hours
Ah, how the prince in me aches…

After burning for all of half a day
Its splendor is displayed in the blink of a moment
The transience of time

I awake from my trance
As the fumes of darkness diffuse through the atmosphere

Chasing away the scenic scent of sunset
