Moments

I took a drive through the woods; an afterthought.

And the trees...

I mean the trees...

It was so...

Everything was gold.

I kissed you by a subway streetlight; so unexpected.

And your neck...

The actual touch of skin...

It was all...

Everything was gold.

I waited for the seed of a song; a moment.

And the silence...

The way it beckoned me...

It was...

Everything was gold.

I enjoyed your poem. I like the "everything was gold" refrain. It gives the poem a nice mood.

Thanks. I overheard the line in the pub and ran off with it, thinking, this must fit in a poem! The irony of leaves looking beautiful when they are about to snuff it, was at the heart of it being an interesting phrase I think. Like the best bit of writing is in that moment when it's about to be over.
