Take me now, then, to task
for sin of retreat, being timid...
(love has always had a price,
in this blur of unfortunate life...)
No rainchecks.   And no guarantee.
Quantity ever limited.

So familiar.
Yet, it's new.
Echoes of my heart
in truth.
See me reach.
See me retreat.
Leaning toward what I yet yearn--
cannot forget that fire burns...

Yet every other thought is YOU...

I feel so silly writing this--
I lick my lips and dream of kiss.

Serenity has got the blues...
Serenity would rather you.

Serenity~
This is lyrically longing.
I like the shade of Serenity Blue.
But hope to see Serenity-In-The-Pink too.

I feel your longing this night, serenity.  I can almost hear the saxophones playing the blues in the background of this one.  Beautifully done.
