dont let me see you tonight

i saw the brilliance in her smile
the glowing cheeks, pink tho timid
supple skin that shimmered
thru the night, moonlit
starlight showered
ah! yes....such a night!

i too had those nights
and that smile i have once worn
maybe more beautifully
maybe...
i felt i held those stars
glowing in my palms
it warmed not just the night
but my soul

why have they died? when...
was it the night u said goodbye?
where are they now?
are they the same
stars that light her nights?

the pink shade of her cheeks, are they
same blush of your kiss?
or was it the touch
of your finger tips
tender...oh tenderly fled
quiet as a hush but pierced

when u visit, cover your face
dont let me see your eyes
looking at me lest i ask
why...
did u not find, or was there not
enough of what i had

dont let me see your hands
waving and weaving magic in the air
entranced souls dance
to the beat you send them
wanting to linger
far more than you
need nor want them
like you did me
your lust..burning
their desires, as you
your soul razed
by your own
betrayals

dont let me see you tonight
lest i remember
the gentle feel of your stab
that i mistook for love
