hello

dusk arising

for me
the fairground noise
fell silent and
the crowds drew back
the moment I saw you
how long
had it been

 

long enough
to forget but not forget
to put away
feelings
into numbness
create a pit of
closed hope

 

now spilling
boiling over
"hello"

    Unexpected a meeting after so long can rouse romantic feelings and it flows so appealingly from these short lines - -- closed hope can open again and I wonder what happened after that sudden "hello"

    • dusk arising

      'hello' will take you wherever your mind will go..... waltzer, helter skelter, dodgems or will it just be the ghost train? An evenings romance or a lonely walk home with a goldfish in a polythene bag?

      Those feelings of yesteryear are always there and just need a trigger to bring them back.
