Just once I would love to go to heaven
I would tell you how much
I need your guidance 
Your wisdom 
Just you
I love you

Life always
Becomes magical
After dark

Please 
Absolve this sin
She cried
Gave into temptation 
just a momentary
lapse in judgement
A mistake

36  hours

could be a lifetime

for someone waiting

for a loved one

to return

from war

From the corner of her eye
She saw his fist
Felt the air
As the force of the blow
Struck her jaw
Splintered bones

She swayed into the room
Searching 
Glancing around the dark club
Eyes meet
Just one look
She set his soul afire

I sat in wonder
As we flew over the Grand Canyon 
Wild river flowing through 
Deep, golden red walls
Reminding me of our love
