#poetryInCrowds

No to my words,
No to my thoughts.
I stood alone,
A lone flame flickering beneath a darkening sky.

Where do I speak?
How can I act?
When every breath of me
Was tethered to you.

You, in the crowd—
Laughter like music, eyes that danced.
I searched for you,
yearning for a glance,
A sign that your heart
Would reach for...
