The candle radiates its flame
The flickering feelings ..They call my name
My kaleidoscope thoughts jumping unseen
Blurring my mind like an old fashioned movie screen

The faltering step

Hesitatingly took
The smouldering kiss
The simmering look
The sly fleeting glance
The slow sensual dance
The walk to the park
The passion so dark
My own awkwardness
Your silk crumpled dress
The stars hanging bright
The love foaming night
The cold mocking moon
The sun rising soon
My thoughts in a drift
The cold lonely lift
The collar turned up
My lone coffee cup
The walk to my flat
The black crossing cat
The slow turning key
Are you thinking of me?
The bare unmade bed
My sad throbbing head
The door on the latch
The last single match

And now the next night
With soft candle light

The scenes rushing by on cracked cellulose
The cinema empty the kiosk I close
