flower petals

October 26, 2019 by Michael Guerin

beneath starry skies
i wait for you.
it’s late and long
past counting
these idle hours
until your presence
might grace
my empty-headed
dreams once again.

for nights beyond
counting i’ve lain
awake
tossed between
remembered scenes
of a love
too fierce to flame
lost here among
the ruins

like so many fallen
flower petals.

(for vincent & samira)
