Returning (Free verse) by Dovina
Embers of burned out nights
still glow between us
while old dust gathers 'round our feet
years since I danced with you
in that young ballroom
tonight so pensive, philosophical
that room seems a former life
Back hurting, heart recluse
it's a matter of indifference
reincarnation, I think
to a lesser karma
Hospital visits replace bedroom visits
expensive restaurants for sack lunches
It's not that I've given up on love
it's just another kind â
less passionate, more soulish
happy with someone who's done the miles
opened his once-closed mind
and might even, before its too late
his heart too
