In the dark
I see your face...
it rivals the
night.

The memories are
daggers
borring into me
and I cannot
stop it.

You always find
me
No matter where
I go.

Your eyes haunt me
caress me
shame me
and I cannot
look away.

I can feel you
on my
skin,
full of heat.

Lingering gazes
burn me
with only a
memory.

Look away from me!

I want to see
the moon
again.  

I want to
sleep
without you
in my dreams.


In the dark
I see your face...
it rivals the
night.




"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

Hmmm, I detect a strong "Look away from me..." but only for a moment then turn round again and hide the night.

Well written, saxoness, lovely piece
