Life's Indiscretions

Life's Indiscretions                                    September 6, 2009

O' when the sun dies as the moon rises forth 
And shreds the light in the sky, 
The crickets awaken from hibernation 
And serenade listeners to sweet sorrows 
Of a young man and woman in duress. 
'Tis the twilight of an old day, 
The climax of many days and years 
Between these two ex lovers 
Who have banished thoughts of marriage 
As life's wildfire burnt asunder 
What aspirations they had. 

They were eager learners in an epicenter, 
Matriculating all there was to learn 
For life's grand voyages, 
And yet still, despite their lust for knowledge, 
They drifted away from their white light, 
Falling victim to time's two pronged wages 
Of love and living, of peace and posterity. 
Since that time, the woman 
Has produced children 
To add to Mother Earth's collection, 
While the man incessantly weeps, 
His soul ripped from his heart, 
And is another casualty of life's indiscretions.
