A passing life

Reflections in the glass Your face Appears behind my shoulder So beautiful So pure I gaze upon your every line Expressions change With the background Of a passing life Your eyes close As if you are as tired As I A slight smile You know I can't Avert my eye A coy look I didn't know I could l Iove you more Leaning forward To be closer To smell my aftershave Closing my eyes I feel your hands Gentleness As you place it On the back of my head I wish I could drift away Let it all go Expressions change With the.background Of a passing life You look sad now The rain Makes it looks like No You are Crying As your hand Slides Down the back of my neck And away Don't go Please I am tired Stay close to me Or again I will stumble In the dark My plea It goes unheard And the bus Jerks to a stop I exit Into a dark Drizzling night My expression changes With the background Of a passing life

Ignore the lack of comments - happened to me so very many times. Still does. People only comment if you comment and so on. I know it is discouraging. The poem above is a very effective, emotive write that brought an emotional rush from my heart straight to my eyes. I felt your poem and hope to read you again soon. CayCay
