The End

Abruptly. No, it was not.

Emotional. Not as I had imagined.

Tears. There were none.

Dreamlike. What we had, or could have had.



Emptiness.



Disappointment. Without a doubt.

Goodbyes. There were none.

Love. Buried so deep that it struggles to find a way out.

Regrets. Only one.

Possibilities. Now I see them.

Freedom. Finally.

The End

Carolina Moon

Only a sliver of a moon
dimly lit at twilight

Mirroring my mood of fading blue
wanton to take flight

Up into the rolling dark clouds
to stay for the night

Floating high like a lost firefly
glowing with the moonlight

Looking down from the Carolina sky
with the coastline in sight

I see everything clearly illuminated
in the quiet of tonight

turn the tide

He came in quite unexpectedly
Slowly opening the door of desire
Finding my well-closeted passion
Entangled in life’s barbed wire.

He gently coaxed out forgotten cravings
Setting my jailed heart afloat
Out onto an ocean of big love with
Sensual breezes powering my lifeboat.

He released the abandoned sensations
Of my passion once denied.
Now forever in his tender care
Drifting along together on a euphoric tide.

Some day

   

Inside THE Dark

I have heard from others
That they are drawn to THE light
I prefer to keep a safe distance
Remaining ever curious
Along the fringes of THE bright.

There are things in THE shadows
That intrigue me the most
Slower, quieter, harder
Stiller, deeper, sweeter
Things that do not boast.

I have heard from others
That they are scared of THE dark.
I want to wear it too often
Knowing full well
The silkiness of THE dark.
