not a shadow of a sound
not a whisper of a vision
broached the moment of
reproach and misgiving
all that needed to be said
was said in subtle ways
until all words and deeds
lost the power to convince
their abode is peopled with
ghosts as transparent as time
an uneasy truce of convenience
creates the illusion of conviviality
was a time
was a time
was a time
new blush of hot lust empowerment
new bloom of blossom bud begging
new scents and sounds and sweat
new passions and pleadings and...
In time
in time
in time
promises pledged in once sacred sincerity
become tarnished hopes and dreams
become life and love denied as
forgiveness becomes a word
reserved for naughty pets and
casual encounter playthings
who gather in the night
to quiet the voices of
silent animus scream
