A Stroll by Ivan Guerrero Najera

A Stroll


It was night time during a stroll
That I found the shadows deep
Paid attention, paid the toll
Without a thought for me to keep

Ours is the forest that hides you
And I within winter delights
In windy weather of an autumn hue
And fading sunlight heights

Let’s hide the deep of the dark
Like a whisper far into the night
Like a fox among leaves, mulch and bark
Inside the fading black of my eyesight

Care to enter the center of this
The love that I threaten you with
The touch and the kiss
That’ll bring you towards my abyss

Care to love me in this aimless journey
Full of meaning we put in ourselves
Like a wishing well with ceremony
And a treat upon the highest shelves
