You
Weren't
Home
I came to your door last night
but you weren’t home
bursting with anticipation
dreams, memories to share
bouquet of wildflowers
plucked from that path near the meadow
but you weren’t home
wanted to confess my ardor
peruse photos of exotic locations
kindle connection
embrace you with arms and words
admit how long this attraction has nurtured
but you weren’t home
should I return tonight
when full moon ignites passions
lovers worldwide snuggle, dance,
bond beneath a Milky Way of sequin stars
will your lips grant entry
or would I turn away once more
because you weren’t home
