"Interlude"
He had been watching her
for days on end
the woman has been on his mind
ever since he saw her
walking alone in the rain
under the eerie silence
of glittering street lights
she has been getting strange calls
amidst tossing and turning
caught midstream
in a wave of the jagged landscape
such a fragile, tortured mind
she goes beside the window
the moonlight shines brightly
against her luminous skin
such a beautiful creature
she lies in bed
and imagines the sweetness
of her lover's lips as they brush
ever so gentle against her aching mouth
the warmth of his body intertwined with hers
is denied this fateful night
as he waits outside
the downpour soaks him to the bone
the lingering fragrance of what was
desperately seeks her out
as he walks away without a word
his love for her unrequited.
