Friday Memories
Friday afternoon memories fade to monochrome
under azure skies, beseeching yesterday's promise...
surrounded now by loving enemies,
floating uneasily between desire and betrayal,
whispering green carpets drown the solitude
momentarily, afraid to take control
taunting me with cool embraces and
shaded, sheltered glances.
my thoughts betrayed by traces of painful shoulds
in a battle with a smoldering sunset
