Spent

All of the steam we blew off that night.
So high our lives were out of our sight.

Our confection crashed under dawn’s weight.
Yet, full were we both, the night did sate.

As the crusts of dark crumbled away…
Our eyes adjusted to searing day.

The bonds we’d tied around us that eve…
Turned to dust; like we never did cleave.

Eyes locked in eyes, for something we’d known…
All trace of the pain we’d shared unshown.

We turned away from where we’d embraced.
Our love that evening; gone to waste?

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
