"Amid The Ruins"
The moonlight shimmers
across the restless tides
another day is gone away
as watchful eyes ponder
unforeseen motives
the same routine
at the old typewriter
writing the same lines
watching the wheels spin
she lies on the bed
with her diary open
pouring her heart out
her thoughts
are a million miles away
a note left on the door:
"dearest,
it has been ages since we
last saw one another
I did not want
our last moments together
to be full of anger and pain
I just wanted to let you know
that that you will always be
the most special part of me
even though we're apart
please know that the sun
will rise again
and I won't ever let you go"
she gets up and goes to the kitchen
and picks up the phone
dialing the number slowly
she exhales
desperately wishing
her beloved's embrace
to carry her home
amid the ruins.
