"The city fell silent..."

The city fell silent –

No electricity!

An outage of power –

How outrageously gorgeous!

In offices, restaurants,

On doorsteps and porches,

The suit-and-tie workers

All bathed in simplicity.

Impassioned and mischievous,

You blew out the candles.

Alone, in the darkness,

We kissed one another.

And hiding, like children,

So carefree and careless,

We searched for each other

Under the covers.
