THE AFFAIR

Folder: 
JOURNAL#31

a fresh moon so serious

stands in mine eyes' path

oh sweet, pale, splash'ed night

how you speak to the soul

in rhythmns of quiet, confused wrath

fog flanked bridge looms up ahead

before the drag of such frozen fretter's feet

escort these non too romantic thoughts

gingerly back to safety

for hearth and home awaits this night

a none too satisfied heart

reaching for the morrow

she whispers back

of a love

dashed all too hastily

once slumped through the archways of security

a clicked tongue once too glib

settles silent

upon but the memory of your simply spoken sentences

so sweet like antifreeze

so damning like acid rain

YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL

ANYONE WOULD LOVE YOU

BUT SADLY

I DO NOT

and in the cadence of your honest words

my heart lost its regular beat

as away from a possible promise of joy

I sullenly walked away

defeated in the dead of night

on a deserted city street...........
