Approximately Forever

She was changing on the inside
it was true what had been written

The new syntax of love
both sucked and burned

The secret clung around them
She took in the smell

Walking down a road to nowhere
every sound was relevant

The sun fell behind them now
he seemed strangely moved

She would take her clothes off
for the camera

she said in plain english
but she wasn’t holding that snake

1. Good morning, my dear Retro!

Where is everybody???!!

This is one great poem! Makes me think of Adam and Eve, perchance...

She would take her clothes off
for the camera

she said in plain english
but she wasn’t holding that snake

Especially those two stanzas.........

It's a wonderful poem.......thank you as always....:hug:

2. Oh, I like this one...

it's so...evocative. I've read it a couple of times and each time I come away with something different.
