The city fell silent –
                No electricity!
An outage of power –
                How outrageously gorgeous!
From offices, restaurants,
                Doorsteps and porches,
Suit-and-tie workers
                All bathed in simplicity.

Impassioned and mischievous,
                You blew out the candles.
Alone, in the darkness,
                We kissed one another.
And hiding, like children,
                So carefree and careless,
We searched for each other
                Under the covers.

I am absolutely never disappointed reading your poetry, and loved this one. You know, I think a bit of a power outage does us good every once in a while, sounds like you had fun.

You know I like this version of the outage...the media would have us to believe that everyone was suffering terribly and I just don't understand that...I say a little adversity leads to creativity...now watch a big power outage hit Honolulu and we'll be screemin'...actually as long as the meat in my freezer doesn't spoil I think I could handle it...James

Love this!
And...it was fun wasn't it?
Porch parties, bar-b-ques..
and just plain dancin' in the dark.

I'm ready for the next blackout!!

Has held me in the same embrace~
