Moments For Forever

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Love stood there for a moment, a moment in your eyes
Love stood there fully naked
Naked without disguise
Love stood there for forever, forever in my eyes
Love stood there fully open
Open without disguise
Words lay there for a moment, a moment in your mind
Words lay there fully spoken
Spoken yet undefined
Words lay there for forever, forever in my mind
Words lay there fully noted
Noted yet undefined
Flames lit there for a moment, a moment in your flanks
Flames lit there fully burning
Burning inside the ranks
Flames lit there for forever, forever in my flanks
Flames lit there fully craving
Craving inside the ranks
