Celestial Serenade II


 

In the beginning
there was only the moon
orchestrating the heavens
to play out her vision
 
a gentle breeze stops to listen
and becomes lost in the melody
caressing the air to the rhythm
of the celestial serenade
 
the indigo sky was swayed
and the stars began to shimmer
through gossamer threads cast
by the moon's enchanting light
 
Fate was called upon to write
the lyrics of two souls
who would not give in to gravity
but let their love break through
 
the breeze and heavens paused for their cue
as the moon and Fate deferred
seems like all they really were doing
was waiting for you.

Impasse




Four walls and a roof
time measured in tears
a home or a box?
a love in arrears
 
words without action
a longing, untold
promises broken
as memories unfold
 
no balance in check
my voice, secondary
the desired outcome:
imaginary
 
just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
love let itself quietly
out the back door.
 
can't live on assumption
no gestures on display
I could drown in indifference
or I could walk away.
