Smiling moon

 

Fade through

these evening streets.

Clock face blazes bright

against the darkening sky.

Pace into the wind

to feel the chill, the rain

to feel the cool tears

washing my grimy face.

I taste memories.

Embraces from another day,

one lost so many years away.

 

I chase sirens,

in these serpentine lanes,

I walk in line, to face the pain,

to taste the rain,

embrace the memories that stain.

I waste away, every step I take,

slowly fading into yesterday.

I let times waves wash over me,

water to revive old recollection.

I see reflections of the sky

in the puddles around me.

The moon smiles down I see.

 

I stride, searching high and low,

for the feint echo of your heartbeat.

I want the glow

of our smiles when we meet

but these old feet are aching,

striving to sleep. I wish you here

but it was all so far away

along a different time flow,

under a different streetlight

years ago,

and I'm fading into the night

with every step I take.
