A simple love story

 

"Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes

in the world of love that you keep in your eyes

I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes

it may take a kiss or two"

 

(excerpt from 'what are you doing the rest of your life')

~ a simple love story ~

Fervent wishes make haste in the sky

blowing in the wind, deliver or die

heart in a lurch, awaiting reply

poised to stop, if it all goes awry

 

All on the table, as the sun sets

time slips away while the moon frets

was it enough? Besieged by regrets

should have done more, lest he forgets

 

'Call me' she whispered; though barely a sound

her plea was felt from miles around

she thought herself lost, but he knew she was found

he emerged from the shadows as doubt ran aground

 

'Silly girl' he chided, 'why can't you see

you are the sun and the moon and the earth to me

tomorrow is waiting, so if you'll agree

we'll just slip away now, content as can be.'

 

His eyes met hers, so she'd understand

she saw, reflected, what Fate had planned

with a smile and a laugh, she took his hand

knowing their future together would always be grand.
