Firefly..

Haiku Heights and Sunday Scribblings


we dined
in a country garden
on that summer's night
all those years ago

the fire flies
lit up the evening

it was the first time
they had appeared for years
and then
you left with them
to find yourself

i changed the locks
vowing to be rid of you
broke every bond between us
to ensure you would never return

And - every time
every time you knocked
i let you back in again

i could never say no to you
it did not seem to matter
how much you wounded me
i could never let you go


fireflies have gone
they no longer light the night
my love for you does

still
