Fleeting Breath

Darkness encroaches Encircling me

My senses falter, Weakened

By an uncanny numbness My mind wanders

To where I often wonder Filling my void

With flickering colored lights Of the disco hall;

My ears

With raves

Of the crashing waves

My eyes feasting

On the young

Muscular men, lustfully

While my head,

Rests firmly on

My boyfriend’s thigh,

On the sandy beach

Now the stern-faced preacher-man Peeps in

Saying again,

Those words

About now!

I wonder where I go

As my less than threescore lifespan Ticks to its end,

In this freaky car crash

My mind wanders, here, there Meeting some loved ones, And moments

Then,

Fades

Gently

Into a bright white light.
