Author Name :Don Schaeffer

In the dreamy evening 

with music woozing 

they strategize, she and he 

.

both waiting for the 

gates of magic to open, 

current companions with

shadows of forever 

in the corners of the room. 

It is a temporary alliance 

.

amplified by hope, 

facing a common foe. 

The contact is smooth. 

.

A road into the future 

vaguely forms in their visions, 

but, the harsh barriers of 

.

flesh and silence 

divide them. 

Love is never 

.

that easy, 

and what-is-that-you-want 

ends in polite separation.
