Surreptitious.

Brought out the worst in each other;
That which was hidden,
In the dark.

Like them.

The wetness of the earth,
Of the air,
And between them.
Desired. Abused.
What had they become?

They were surreptitious.
It started that way.
Still is.
Will always be.

The flashes of green
In the night sky blue
Yellow light,
Shivering, shimmering.

The cold air, and hard rains
The grass, the marble,
The stairs,
Loved, lost, forever.
Theirs were the longest conversations,
With no words,
Just predicaments,
And glances.

Never ending heat,
Ever lasting want.
Darkness has taken over
At the end, do they start?
