Turkey

It was really happening!

A dream we planned and saved for years.

The trip had just started

And we were having the time of our lives.

It was that moment

Just moments in

That i could return home

Because the taste of it

Was so satisfying.

To stay longer

I would be undone.

And undone

I became.

Jet lag

Meets inexpressible joy

As we opened the curtains

And stepped outside on the veranda

Undone with gratitude

Undone because Turkish coffee

Was not our favorite

And the Turkish delights

Were more Narnia

Than delicious

And the pomegranate juice

Well, that was the gold.

All because ben followed a man

Confidently walking to his favorite cafe

To learn it belonged to his dad.

Biased.

But when in Istanbul.

A wall of famous visitors

No one asked for our photo

And we prefer it that way

But if they did

We’d submit this one

This sunset could be anywhere

And the image is as grainy as can be

Yet it’s a picture for me

Maybe a reminder for you

That the best moments in life

Aren’t captured

But held.
