A UNION NOW REGRETTED

 

 

A UNION NOW REGRETTED

 

He wears his coat with collar high

his shoes sink deep

in whipped cream snow

beneath a leaden sky.

 

And lost as sward in snow bound meadow

night time feelings

in his wake

are lost in nights oppressive shadow.

 

-

 

With the day her dreams foregone

embraced no more

she sits alone

with just her memories lingering on.

 

Cold reason in her mind prevails

she wonders now

what lies beyond

within the future’s silent veils.
