Clandestine Biscuits

 

Clandestine Biscuits.

 

Such a day 

with the sun smearing

gilt over smudge-grey cloudburst

he first held my hand.

Such a feel

of glad surrender 

weak with belief in fateful 

attraction to each.

Such a time 

when togetherness

heedlessly discounted sense  

for satisfied need.

Such a thrill

to recall the laughs 

and forget happy can dry 

as guilt ferments tears.

Such a while 

since lonely got fed 

with clandestine biscuits yet

      still has no regret.
