moonlight rooftop

a calloused hand caresses a soft cheek
his finger roam over her face soothingly
circling on temples then eyelids then ears
a lone finger strays across her mouth
her lips reach out to meat it
tenderly he cups her face within his hands
fingers straying ever more often across her lips
where they are met with a furtive kiss
timidly tounge meets fingertips

time stands still and for one fleeting moment
he can forget the screaming voices of logic which pound on the inside of his scull
for one moment he drinks in love and joy, letting it envelope him
he longs to hold her in his arms forever
he yearns for his lips to meet hers

but the moment is gone and reality now occupies his thoughts
gone is the baffling reason of one in love
logic now plagues his mind
chasing away the fancies of youth
as the sun chases away the morning mists of fantasy into the afternoons of responsibility
