The Glow
Tonight the moon is nigh
but here soft lamps glow.
Leaving shadows to hide
beneath our senses.
It dances on your face
In wrinkles and winks
nervous chuckles and eyes
without contact
Your sensuality is stark
Here in the light
On a moonless night
But for a lamp all else dark
The smile is from your eyes
Your lips pursed
In a nervous bite
Shadows can't hide
Lift high those chains that bind
Us to our habits easy and often
Break through the barriers
That hold us where we are
Only way to go someplace new
Is to change our ways, the path
All roads lead to someplace
Many take us only one place
Need to break the journey
Start a road anew
Take a road that we haven't traveled
Journey to a place not seen
