Goodnight

While Andy and I were dating, we lived almost an hour apart. The best and worst part of the each night was the moment when we had to say goodbye. It was always late at night. One night, in that moment, I fell in love as he kissed me goodbye. I wrote this in my head as I drove home.

This is also the first poem I ever had published.

Goodnight

There exists no time.

Sphere's froze in westward paths held Sun at horizon.

Life's without pulse as long hands cease to click again.

There exists no time. 

Passion is forever.

Burless Fires rage wild though Lightning strikes never die.

Shock pulses to Earth's end, working hypnotic Sky.

Passion is forever.

Two melted into One.

Singers of Words embrace; feelers of Warmth caress;

Shared breath between two beasts loved, both, harsh tenderness.

Two melted into One.

Silence scream out loud.

Star smiles at his secret; Wind whispers of her view;

Night's Guard nods approval; eyes cry a sweet adieu.

Silence screams out loud.

Moments are eternal.

This one not set unique, or the first or the last.

Nor gracious tone implied, nor marking great days past.

Moments are eternal.
