Poetry Thursday - "chasing feelings"

Inspired by observation of strangers...

~chasing feelings~

Words overheard,
intoxication driving emotions
as one hurried ahead,
the other behind,
an attempt to end the chase
and the emotions.
On a walkway
past a bar,
tucked in dark shadows,
where melodies and voices
emerged through panes
of glass, through doors
inviting smiles and songs,
laughter and whispered dreams.
Doors that opened
the flow of red wine,
blue liquor, dark beer.
Songs of emotions
but hurry,
hurry,
the feelings are not
for tonight.
