LibraA Poem by Jeffrey London
You came to me in a dream under haze of curiosity and meaning. You were dressed all in white, which I agree was peculiar. Fear and mourning stabbed at my weak heart, anxiety turns. And then the train hits, I see your eyes those distant, forgotten eyes which now are flushed with warmth and rapture, the knife exits.
This town is ours, hand in hand we walk its streets telling stories of our own lives, the misfortunes of my own town. I am so in love. My voice brings your eyes to tears, as it once did. As the dew-dropped grass sit beneath us we tell myths of the stars and constellations, you speak of paintings and children and country music. I listen. You kiss me, gently. It is the first kiss with meaning that anyone has ever experienced.
Ultimately, only you, me and of course the stars. a sad blue moon flickers in the endless sky calling. It calls you home, back to your own life. To your true Silver Spring. Fear of morning sneaks. Cold hands squeeze one last time there is no kiss.
You came to me in a dream. If you ever choose to wander again I will be there in that dewy grass under the stars and moon, both full and wanting.
