A smile creased his face
remembering the night before
a preciously addictive safe place
the laughter made him sore
She reflected the smile
knowing what he thought
storing every move on file
each touch her mind had caught
As they reached to the others hand
adding the moments to the stack
only they could now understand
smiles with two long blacks
Tis been but a short time
But how long do you need
Before you say the sky is blue?
Struggling, through a grimacing climb
But do you need to watch the seed
Before you know it’s you?
Scared to expose the heart
But the tenderness of the kiss
Tells me the lights are true.
Brightness fills this street
Where many people meet
Some laugh, some cry, some pity
In the shadows of a city
Bright radiance from where I stand
Because she is holding my hand
The leather was brown and covered her shins
Still smiling as the food touched her lip
Her eyes were anchors that kept me to her
A blonde flick of hair drifted to the eye
But was arrested with a graceful sweep
Authoritively placed behind her ear
A chain of silver fell between her breasts
And I believed it to be a conduit of the heart
For surely it was the source of radiance
Anthracite
