At night when the stars dim
letting you see inside
that failing comes to the surface
and you hope its not later.
The quick thoughts
of a natural excuse
one that makes you weep
for a better day.
So you sit in quiet contemplation
breathing in the air
of a night times coolness
like the touch of a lover.
But the kisses are not the same
because the dust on the photo's
dim your memeories
but not your beating heart.

MG, this was so beautiful..........your words have this way of touching my heart.....remebering......filling me with warmth.......bringing a gentle smile to my face.........You have this way of capturing feelings I am sure we have all felt in our lives at one time or another......
As Always
