A Broken Dream

 

A twinkle from you eyes

Splashed the air

And I caught its glow

As it caressed my face.

 

Innocently your hands

Would touch my desire

While your words

Would dance in my mind.

 

Excitement was all I knew

Until I saw you again.

Longing was all I felt

Until once more you touched me.

 

Impatience----

Raw and sweet---

In haste we tasted

A warm and yielding vision.

 

But, alas,

A dream was shattered.

I know not why as I search

The cold and empty night.

 

It was only I

Who saw the twinkle

That caressed my face.

 

It was only I

Who felt desire

When you took my hand.

 

It is only I

Who wonders why.

It is only I.
