Unexpected

as the new moon that lurks behind midsummer rain

You came from where you were

(wherever that may be)

to here,

to now,

to me.

And isn’t it curious?

How you can know someone for years

And have them feel so new;

How one look, one touch, one kiss

can turn the wheels

from the downward spiral of my thoughts

into your arms.

Darling angel, where are your wings?

Free

as unearthed as love could be

with no past nor future-

we walk, we flee.

Close your eyes

And this, tonight is yours

Hurled into eternity with the scent of your skin

A little something of a something

That very few people can "own"

Give it whatever a name

Shapeless, lambent as the tongues of a flame

But I’d rather not.

But yes, you can love.

Here comes another day

Play it off and dream…of me

until tonight…

Goodnight, my sweet.

Goodnight.
