The Scent and Sight and Soul of a Moment By Mairtin O'Riain

Inspired in part by Skully's new album called 'Scent of A Moment'

Skully has just announced the name of his new album due out on Valentine's Day, February 14th, 2011. SCENT OF A MOMENT is now in the process of being mastered and will be available soon!! This beautiful poem by Mairtin O'Riain was inspired by the name of Skully's new album. Of course, Mairtin.....being the wonderful hairy creature he is (his avatar is a gorilla!!) has added a little twist to the ending for those who like a little humor!!! Enjoy!!

The rushing sound of the wind and waves of shouts and traffic beyond stilled

and disappered into a stiller silence

as the power of that moment took hold

everything beyond the focus of our eyes dissappeared

vanishing into the stillness that clothed us like a blanket

our closeness melded into the moment

closer and closer

close enough to feel and hear our hearts beating

close enough to feel the warmth of our bodies

resisting not touching though every atom cried out to draw us close

resistingl not touching as the pull of desire like a magnet drew our souls into one around us

surrendering stil not touching as every scent, image and sparkle of that moment

captured us and enshrouded us completely

as your breath washed over my skin

as every feeling, every desire

draws close and closer still

like scented oils poured out

washing over us

drawing us together

our breathing deep and heavy,

drawing oh so deeply in that moment

deep, deeper into the depths of our souls

filling us with that warmth,

surrendering us that oneness, that wholeness, that moment

that lifted us out from the world

and into each others arms

(here's the alternative ending for that 'coldshower effect' peeps...)

we spun together holding

tighter and tighter still

till we tripped on the cat

fell over the dog

and right out of through the window sill.
