Before We Disappear

a short excerpt of poetry from my novel (To Be Loved) www.jrdewesse.weebly.com

Like melodies in a song,
my heart beats to the tempo of raindrops
when I’m in your presence.

In the wonderland you take me to,
we walk on dew-soaked rose petals,
just me and you.

We, in our secret place,
will paint stars into the sky,
and our tears will wash out the sun …
before we close our eyes and disappear.
