On a quiet and sticky summer night
When sleep is elusive,
An unexpected breeze
Wafts across my sweat dampened body,
Prodding me from my bed
And I think of you.

I ponder as I sit here
Just what it is I’d do.

Nowhere to hide my dampened cheeks,
No place to lick my deepening wounds,
No dark and dreary seeks,
I loved you with all innocence,
Something I knew better than . . . more

those cold dark nights that were a part of your life,
consumed all you had, who you wanted to be,
some time ago before you met me.

Silence
Splits predawn air
Widening eyes to strain

Before I understood what could be known.
I mistook life as having shown me love.
Oh, so wrong I was. So wrong.
To others I had sought to give my heart. . . . more

With the cold fire of desire;
Beneath thick covers, beset,

Oh what feeling his voice provoked.
Our attraction was instant,
the chemistry blatant.
His eyes roaming, resting on mine.
