we talk of mornings milking dandelions of their scent catching soft touches of sun laughing at what has yet to come barely getting to know who we are Painfully we part drift ourselves to work gather our duties folding them in place rushing to see the days end We never spoke of such a thing but our hearts new truths that mouths could not utter and brains could not justify stealing moments whispers hushes secrets to expose lies Laying nightly sharing the moon we gasp at the thoughts of anger forgetting that the world outside still needs us lifting our brows in obnoxious greed good thing the sheets are made of satin perched, again I talk you listen on rocks beaten by waves the sea speaks to us giving us knowledge we couldn't possibly understand clouds dark, roll in letting the light peak at our souls with evening air tapping on my shoulder restless you walk I follow into the dark |

made me think of how our innocence is stolen when as we get older and how people tend to forget the pleasures of life as they get older. (was i right??) i like it |

I enjoyed your poem. In my relationship there are many times I feel what you are expressing: "mouths could not utter and brains could not justify.... to expose lies." My exact feelings at times!!! Thanx |

spoke to me of an innocence untouched by the outside world because the ones involved took the time to make it so. Indeed, a very good read. |
