(mostly) short poems on life and love

night fall

April 23, 2019 by Michael Guerin

she stared mysteriously
through me as the notes
of some sad sweet song
lingered along.
and like one who was lost
adrift or abandoned
i clung to each moment
afraid to move on,
bereft of a logic
or reasons.

she finally asked me to bed
and peeled back the covers
but i waited instead,
unsure of next moves
and stuck in my head
the moment came
and it went.
just another day’s
energy spent.

for some love is a game
best played with a stranger
to thrash in the darkness
of an empty long night
without any thought
or a meaning,
driven by needs
and in search
of escape.
