Starry Night over the Phone

Reflections dance along the quiet river
tiny speckles of yellow dot the rough night sky
lovers wander along the shadowed paths,
hoping to find that romantic storybook moment.

Hands intertwine, bodies heat each others, their insecure hearts
ready to dive into the depths of teenage passion,
love is what they long for, but lust is all they find.

Two lonely souls meander along the sloping riverbank,
cold sand between their toes. Side by side unaware of the other,
Sadness embedded in their eyes they lose themselves.

He offers her a hand, electricity flies through their skin,
resuscitating their loveless hearts.
She cries, her inner most beauty revealing
a life with a simple love, and a simple touch, she could feel again.
