Hyde Park early evening
Sun streaming through the
Buildings of somewhere
We didn’t know
A pub, a bar
Seems a long time ago
Failing more, more, more
Under a first spring London sky
Then Saturday, river edgeland
Thoughts, walks along
Pebbles in the sand
Sometimes hand upon hand
But too soon
Pool-like eyes
Infinite, clear, full
Of your heart, heavy
Laden, heavy, full of
Till time caved in
Stopped too early to begin
Pulled away too soon
Down a faceless track
After, regret
Alone, empty, searching
Attempting to accept
Mindful choices made
A wanted hug
A needed touch
Too much
Though not enough
And now – remembering Friday
And
Despite what I know
Where to?
Forward to where we can’t go!
