I sit in the park, waiting <br />Patience slowly fading <br />Nerves start grating <br />Almost begin praying <br /> <br />Why am I here? <br />Anything to fear? <br />It ended long ago <br />Lost her to my foe <br /> <br />November mist <br />Chilly for a tryst <br />This is where we kissed <br />Where we left pissed <br /> <br />A couple passes by <br />I smile sadly and mouth, “hi” <br />This is their time <br />Some love never dies <br /> <br />Finally she arrives <br />With moonlight in her eyes <br />Want my own to dry <br />Jesus, I could die <br /> <br />A warm embrace <br />As we face <br />Filled with grace <br />This holy space <br /> <br />We sit and talk <br />Sometimes balk <br />Occasionally gawk <br />No move to walk <br /> <br />The boom comes down <br />Heard all over town <br />A wedding gown <br />A stupid clown <br /> <br />That’s it for me <br />Enough of thee <br />I glance at a tree <br />Right before I flee <br /> <br /> <br />I get up, plunge my hands into my leather jacket, and vanish into the fog, becoming one with the night…<br /><br />Yoni Assis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-with-the-night-a-park-scene/
