"The Wish"
The night waits
in silent splendor
as countless faces
in the sea of humanity
oblivious to their own whims
She lies in shadow
clutching the pillow
imagining him
beside her
The feel of his skin
against her luminous beauty
the aching warmth
of their mutual entanglement
her lips, his arms, her thighs
The tension between them palpable
pulling her into him, they kiss deeply
the room spins
in what seems like am an eternity
as the moment lingers
He looks into her eyes
into those beautiful eyes
and knows that this
was never meant to be
The light from the candle
flickers as the unspoken wish
fades desperately
against the glow of dying stars.
