We 
       fell
             together that night
Under golden shards of starlight
Skin glistening with sweat & tears
A caress to hide our deepest fears
We trickled down like teardrops
Made mercury under a brightening moon
Lips Softly touching 
Hearts merging
The anticipation 
of the life we could have 
        If not for life itself
There was one last look
Through glistening pools of sorrow
Serendipity, you whispered 
And we fell apart
The wind scattering us
to the harshness of time & reality 

And here I stand again 
All these years later
Old & frail
Skin so pale 
Hoping, waiting, anticipating 
But there's nothing but
the same bitter wind
And an emptiness

of lost and lonely souls
