A Lover\'s Emotions

A Lover’s Emotions

 

There is no contrast
between us and the darkness.
Our lips find one another’s,
the other’s body.
We search
for our contiguous rhythm.
      Cocooned,
one with the music,
      the space,
      each other,
Only to wake to begin anew.

---------------------------------

As a waning moon
cradles the dawn,
a lover’s promise is broken.
Just another lie
this night will spawn,
One more lover’s deception.

---------------------------------

Alone, I stare at the ceiling.

My tears are dry,

their tracks wiped away.

I ignore your calls

to forgive, and decided

to go out to begin anew.
