Warm airless night.
Quiet machine echoing
A single keystroke.
Velvet darkness.
A small boy fretting
Where are you now?
Void of the night.
Warm throbbing heart fire
Misses a beat.
Black cat prowling
Awaiting the moonrise.
The empty hand.
Hand in hand
Lovers stroll on the beach.
Pelican alone.
Two hearts tango,
Dancing cheek to cheek.
The music stops.
Divine madness.
The lone wolf trots away
From the pup.
Moon fills her blood
Growing to full majesty.
Sun turns away.
