Nights Like Tonight Poem by Theresa Haffner

nights like tonight

with the fires of the infinite

shining through our eyes

an intimate moment shared

as hushed incandescents cast a surreal glow

in the euphoric light

in the bathroom

the interior landscape lengthens and grows

into dimensions of the far distance

there are long shadows

mixed with small shadows

angles of reflection

one mirror into another

reveal the partial image

of an unclothed body

the colors dance

we are god’s children

we were born

to live these moments
