I Understand The Rules

Standing in the midnight autumn calm in an empty space where a month ago summer roses swayed like dancers in a drunken breeze, I can still hear your voice mingled in the silence of my heart beat. I want the reflection of the moon on a crystal lake to be your naked body beckoning mine, I want to sleep in a sacred place with perfume wafting softly from your yellow cotton dress as it hangs on a chair beside an opened window. You never had intentions to remain here like the visionary wife of my dreams, you were always honest and clear whenever we kissed that the union of our souls would be briefer than the breaths we shared in ecstasy but that doesn’t mean one of us was not in love.
