a delicious dream,
a taste of life’s sweet nectar,
a carousing desire
left floating in the wind,
a wonder to and from the soul
lightly stealing scene to scene,

and then love became

a sadness with no place to hide
trapped inside mosaic dances;
an ending behind the smile
of a black veil of regret,
as the heart empties
its secret sorrows
from the darkest
chambers of the heart.
