Aurora Sometimes

Just being whimsical, needing more
tomorrows..  
not enough smiles and side glances
allow this one request
to forget yesterday's sorrows
and last chances. 

Taught me to talk without words
just holding your hand
a heartbeat pulse tellin' me, 
ev'rything's gonna be 
alright.  

Swept up in my arms, deep 
into my baby blues
where internal storm brews
Edith singing no regrets...
how 'bout you? 

Light as aire, heh, just a feather that day
both carried away, 
oh how I wish you woulda, 
wish you coulda
stayed. 

Sometimes, when light fades
space closes in aurora borealis   
to phase shifted night
remember all static electric nights..
only sometimes.

This is a delightful poem that has a depth of romanticism. Thoughts connect to the finale, "sometimes".
