Bereft

Staring into midnight-blues,

Eyes that serve to just bemuse,
I know I cannot now resist
As they bid me, lean in, kiss

Lips that I will not withstand

Twist me like an ampersand
And bind me, bind my heart and soul,
One billion years, without parole

Inhibitions are all gone

Scattered out upon the lawn
There is no way now to turn back
To stall or stop this Heart Attack

Those arms that held me, hold me tight

They disappear then, in the night
And I know of no remnant left
And this fact leaves me so…. bereft
