You caught
The corner
Of my eye.
I smiled.

Canopy of cloud
Covering eternity –
Endless skies above
I had a crush on someone.
His blue eyes melted mine.
He melted me.
I changed my dress, my hair, my walk, my talk.
Anything for him to notice me.
And he did.
Before he noticed someone else.
Yesterday
Their baby was born.
A shadow without light
Would ne’er a shadow be named
But rather darkness descending
On never ending night
Like moonlight shadows
And shadows with light
A soul’s sore pain echoes
Sweet victory’s delight
One side of a coin
Is one half of a whole
The yin and the yang –
Whole is more than its parts

Random behavior.
Not unexpected.

An empty swing stands
Forlorn, bearing echoes of
Laughter long ago

My love
Your love
Our love
Forbidden behind
A secret lock and
Key
For now
And always forever
Aching to be
Unchained
Unlocked
Unhidden
Free


Layers upon layer
Fell to the floor
Revealing flesh
Behind closed door
The music played
Drowning our cries
The passion between us
Never disguised
