Time is lapping over my feet,
kissing me with hungry lips,
and hiding the teeth of the beast within.
Beneath the lamp's glow I saw her face,
luminous eyes
reflecting the sorrow within my soul.
She looked at me in silence,
wearing it softly ,
a reminder of my humanity.
I almost wept,
to be so close,
and yet so far away.
