Jolted by Twilight

Like dreams ~ as conscience echoes through the dark,
and life's mirage laps upon my shores
where dunes of sand are blown like drifts of snow.
I'm lost ~ alone ~ not knowing where to go,
except between where beach roses grow and...
where love is/was still unforgettable ~ regrettable? 
       too perfect to ever last?
Like clouds that swept by the August moon and
          off 'til morning ...
Was it a mistake to leave you there - to run,
when morning twilight exposed our skin - our sin - our honor?

Now, life leaves us dwelling in one night and a summer
that should never have been, and a tomorrow that
               never was......but remains 
    in my twilight of yesterdays, but not in my twilight
            of regrets.........except to never
                have seen you again...
