Illicit Light

image

Ernest Hemingway once said,

“I don’t live at all when I’m not with you.”

It should be something every man

should say to a fearless woman

just so they could see the smile on her face.

And yet, many men don’t recognize

all the sacrifices she’s made for him.

He won’t see anything else

when it comes to the illicit light

to protect a love affair that’s been buried

under passing times and yet,

we’ve made so many people fall in love

with the words we’ve shared to one another.
