ghiradelli

ghiradelli

i saw her in the distance
walking towards me
or away
illusions are deceiving

ghirardelli square to my left
the world of hope and expectation to my right
desire oozing like thick flowing chocolate
as she walked into the night

her step slowed
while my heart raced
the quiet of still filled the air that i swallowed
as she walked towards me
or perhaps she walked away
illusions are deceiving

when i heard the music
i knew
the chords flowed towards me
unlike i had ever known
she walked away
illusions are deceiving
