Darkness was upon us now.
The moon was out, but we are in the dimness of cover.
None were aware.
We walked slowly, hand in hand.
Continuing on our path to freedom.
Not to be judged or condemned.
Living, if only for a brief time.
Loving as if there was no tomorrow.
For us there may only be today.
Together we shall be

Sunrise was magnificent.
Feeling like it was only for us.
We lay together smiling of bliss.
Renewed energy to guide us.
They were there somewhere far behind.
Calling, searching, begging.
No answer reported.
No sight of the beautiful lovers.
Gone.
