I Write to Save it

In the autumn of life

I dreamed all night

Of being drunk with love

Together we stumbled 

From one restaurant to another

Tasting food and drinks

Adding alcohol to the mix

Adding fuel to the fire

Of what is natural desire

Who or what is reminding me

Of that feeling of romantic love so free?

Who or what was that

Like a flammable fuel

From somewhere new

Or what can make one run

In heels and just for fun?

Why now as winter rages

Would I dream this dream not faded

Even as I write to save it?

What's Next?

 So, what's next?

As the story is done

We've turned all the pages

And processed the fun,

The entanglements freed

The intentions were good

The misguided actions dismissed

Knock on wood

So what lies ahead

After shedding our skin

Who is this creature 

Now loose and prepared

For anything new

Just a little bit scared.
