JULY 2014

10pm

You and I wore 
At 10pm
The garb of 
The night,
Which you said,
"Bedazzling!"
I undressed
In front of your
Glazed eyes
Trying to preserve
My sanity
In a tangled
Warp?
You said, "No"
I followed you
To your temple
Bare feet
With a naked heart
Thinking you will 
Turn
And say,
"Look, the stars 
Look so near tonight
And your tree
Is in full bloom
Of daffodils and daisies
The tranquil waters 
Reflecting us?"
The sequence,
The story,
The summerday!
I wished you stayed 
Longer
To see me
Bleeding
Pleading you
To dress me
In the vermilion
Of your heart!
