Too dark for shadows
Yet the moonlight lit the chateau
So we stood in its path
Shivering in our dinner-best
Minds wine-clouded
The breeze was chilled by the river
And embraced us, so we, too
Needed to embrace
We felt again the security of arms
And at last braved
The gaze of eyes
A moment of motions
Our lips meeting, practiced as ritual
And suddenly letting go for an instant
Reveling in the place and time
Trying to hold on, yet pushing away
And then we both saw it
A kind of goodbye and bittersweet hello
We strolled to a bar to forget
Both changed forever
And held back tearsLabels: poetry
