2♥ Elongated sighs

44 12 16
                                    



the October haze   
is chilling me,
as I drink warm coffee,
mystified by the pallor
of my own reflection
on the withered rose petals.


whispers in the wind
is music to my ears;
as I wait by the window,
watching the sky
painting mystery.


but the sarcasm
of her nocturnal giggles,
is not melted
in the cordial mischief,
that wraps me in sheaths
of cold sweat;


once again,
I am alone with my own reality.
