in the arms of a stranger

dusk arising



 

 

here
in the arms of a stranger
a lingering silence
of quiet desperation
hangs in the air
like a paper moon
casting it's shadow
upon fog of disillusion
where the only clarity
is the need for escape

        There's times whilst someone has a petite mort, your heart says flee.

        Oh to be accosted by a stranger - never happened to me but if he was a man I would feel the same way. - great words dusk.

          LOL this aint about being accosted. More to do with regretting a loving encounter.

          Oh what avid dejection this verse brings out when deceit becomes clear enough to want escape - such a telling verse Dusky..

            The heart being full of a recent loss will not rest easy in the arms of a stranger.

            So evocative. It had me casting my mind back decades.

              A colourful life eh LOL. Life is for living after all. Better to have made mistakes and learned from them rather than to just read of someone elses mistakes.
