wanting more than the gods will allow

In art, d. james, literature, poem, poetry, writing on 19 March 2010 at 1:14 pm

waiting
the night out

feeling
my way
in the dark

hoping
the morning
won’t come
this one time

keeping
the fantasy
of being with you
longer than just tonight
alive for one more hour

as light
lines
the horizon

I take
one last look
and like Eurydice
you vanish before my eyes

(D. James)

This is just a perfect poem…in structure and imagery!
