hours





a sun traces
a walkway between hours
folded neat black
over grey

the day has now found
itself in the candles quiet flame
reflects
a moon held captive
by the hourglass
of night

you? as i love
these hours

the carnation red loves the vase

you? as i have
come to love the warmth
of the flame

so why?  need dawn ever
come again
when the glass has been emptied
and loves hours have
been filled

    O Gawd, bkm..."...a moon held captive
    by the hourglass
    of night..."

    And then empty glass. And love well-spent. Dawn, we need you no more...

    This is MOST beautiful words/thoughts!
