The Dark Of Part-Time Lovers Poem by David Nelson Bradsher

The Dark Of Part-Time Lovers

Rating: 5.0


At the soft juncture of the dawn,
my yawn-and-stretch completes
a canvassing of flannel sheets
to find that she has gone.

She loved me well, but wouldn’t stay
to watch the darkness die;
preserving, thus, that she and I
are strangers in the day,

who reacquaint within the night
as if amnesiacs
who melt like pools of heated wax
that moats the candlelight.
