I stopped the moonglow
in midstream
and cast a spell of midnite
in scream
and evermore wonder
why

did we let the heat cool
let the stream flow untended
to the sea

still,
your touch touched me
in secret recesses
hidden by the bright lights
you stood underneath the spotlight
I watched
wanting more than the afterglow
of you

so I left

wonderful...the last line turned the entire feeling around...and yet, knowing you cannot ask to be loved, it must come openly and naturally...hugs to you

"So I left" I find so much heartache in this short sentence. This is a fine piece, Kacy. KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

thanks, amigos
sometimes leaving seems to be the only option,
when what you want/need
is more than a few mere moments a week...
and I was young enough to want/need
much more than afterglow moments

Remember this?:
