Love Poem: Across a Crowded Room

Across a Crowded Room

why

why

    why does
the room spin
ever so
slow?

what

what

    what does
this pattern
of colors
mean?

muted…

fading…

gone

why are the
stars all just
right out of
reach?

    and
why are you
tangibly
close, yet so 
far?

here…

now…

I’m shrouded
in darkness
with no chance
at all
for
light

here…

here…

in the dark
