The moon spills pennies at midnight
between raindrops that fall
on copper studded streets.
You hold out your arms to me,
currents fly from underneath our feet
and journeys are swept into existence.

We, you and I, stop loathing our mistakes
Be my love again, there’s a road not
far that leads to warmth

there’s pain, yes,
its visual, yes,
healing seems to be held by a straight-laced
tutor who closes the books on us,
but we are not finished,

together, we keep moving
until we find the road. Be my love, again.
On this day, along those streets,
and dazzle me once more.

(For Andreas)

Something says to me that he will be pleased, perhaps you both will.  The
conviction certainly flows from your
writings..best of luck!

Awesome entrance to your poem. Much enjoyed. Chris

"At one glance
I love you
With a thousand hearts."
