ONE FOR THE ROAD

The blinding beauty of the sun...
Ever present and radiant...
Never failing to awake at dawn.
Like...a love lorn lover...
Her heart who hath not won.

The road lined with street lamps...
Casting shadows on those walking by..
Shadows come and go...
These lamps keep shining on.
Like....the bride of a king at war...
Sheltering all but seeking the one.

The famed life of the rising star...
The 75mm world...
The wealth, the women, the world at his feet.
Pining.....for the love he left behind....
Too far now....to retreat.

All these people...
All....fighting for love...
All......losing to it?

SCARED?

I'm scared i will forget,
the touch......of your skin.

I'm scared i won't recall,
the disarming smile.

I'm scared i won't remember,
the way......your eyes stayed on mine.

I hope i don't forget,
the beautiful kiss...that melted me each time.

I know i will never get enough of you,
i know.....i will be back for more.

But i do miss you,
that too.......i know.

Until i see you again,
and look into.......those smiling eyes!

keep your eyes softly on mine,
keep your lips curled in a smile,
the door closed tight,
so we are hidden out of sight.

tell me the story of your life,
i promise i shall listen,
to every word...every sigh..

why did she walk away,
why did he change his mind,
tell me of the little smiles,
the way you felt,
each time you kissed...for the last time.

the beauty of the first winter rose,
the mirth at her preten.
did he love with all his heart
were you the reason she could not see

tell me each day...
so i may know a little more
than i did the day before.
