What if.... (7/6/1997 - for Jonathan)

How still the night
A mere
    BLINK
and the moment has passed

and as I shivered in the darkness
Warmth - in a tight embrace
It could have
(I should have let it)
been. There is no -

doubt
How easily it WOULD have
happened

Only a
Windscreen

standing between

Wanting only for a knife to
slice the nearly tangible tension in two

so that both parts would join

Music - that night
and indelibly in my memory for ever

it created the beast (come here)
of all that might have been discovered (touch me)
but i resisted the demon within (kiss me)
to be taken
and given to another (NOW)

but that was my only chance
