Just for a second our eyes meet, <br />We lower our lashes, <br />But still we are aware of the heat, <br />That ignites between us, <br />A spark that sets off the fire of longing, <br />Desire that cripples us, <br />Our bodies are begging to touch, <br />Still we ignore the need, <br />Mask it with shard of coldness, <br />But still we ache, we seethe. <br />Just a brief touch of fingers, <br />And we want to run away, <br />Hide, and build our own place, <br />Foolish dreams or a child’s naivety, <br />We seek the refuge from this hideous reality, <br />With the last rays of sun, <br />Begins our dark fantasies, <br />We let rage our imaginations, <br />Filling the emptiness with hollow dreams, <br />Few moments is all it takes, <br />To make me think of you again. <br />But I kill those happy endings, <br />When we meet, <br />I give you a cold formal greeting, <br />You cling to him as does she to me, <br />We turn back, <br />And walk away, <br />Stomping on the ashes of our dreams………………………..<br /><br />Lucifera Santez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ashes-33/
