The Night You Left Me

Author's note: From the Casablanca Collection.



Where did you go?
I felt your warmth so near
Palpably seeping from your body with each heart beat into mine
only beams of the poet's moon teased their way between us
a mysterious gravitational force
pulling me even closer to you
making me crave you like some syrupy desire

I laid awake in the dark
wondering where you were
recalling the smooth intricacies of your voice
your crooked smile
your tender fingers intertwined with mine
staring into your absent gaze
still sensing your suffocating presence
hovering in the light spring air
until the appearance of the Marrakech sun

I was surprised at how fast the sun sets and rises in Morocco.
And the sun is hot enough with out the hassle of being jilted...
Nice work...

Rafika,

"...only beams of the Poet's moon teased their/way between us..." is a beautiful line showing intimate closeness.

Only to have him disappear into the night...heartwrenching! Excellently penned and imaged.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
