They wear their business suits in public <br />With their business faces, too. <br />But at night they tear their stage sets down <br />And pay their backdoor dues. <br /> <br />In an abandoned, moonlit theatre <br />Standing vulnerable at center stage, <br />The empty seats seem occupied <br />And the light begins to change. <br /> <br />Music sings and shadows sway <br />And time seems to stand still. <br />A spotlight shining on one body <br />Made of embers of sheer silk. <br /> <br />As these embers dance and fade, <br />One thing is surely true. <br />The last words that they whispered <br />Were a steady ‘I love you’.<br /><br />Jessy Liz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/backdoor-romance-in-black-and-white/
