Mind

an image once kind

an image once sublime

an image in my mind

fading in and out of my consciousness

the crest of the waves

the forbidden places

and the love we made

traces

of you are like scented flowers

on the morning breeze

the hours

with you now we are apart

feels like a tease

two hearts

once one

now must find solitude to recover

the morning sun

shines a ray on the place

where you were my lover

and now

an image in my mind

 

intimate thoughts

a necklass

i place around your pretty neck

reckless

love we sought

still those quiet nights i wont soon forget

the flight of a robin

stirs

me from my reverie

what incurs

we will see

after all love controls its own destiny

the spill of wine

laughter when i kiss your pouty lips

time after time

i recall how you would pause then take a sip

december snow

melts as dictated

by the seasons

complicated

i know

right now is not the time

to search for the reasons

that you are

an image in my mind

 

a tale of two cities

so very near

yet far apart

some fears

unfounded maybe we should have ignored

them from the start

a picture of you

or two or three

i gaze

at throughout my restless days

amazed

that we lasted

yet if two lovers have the will

god finds a way

thinking of you

as sure

as you think of me

the cure 

for us is as close as our hearts

yet vast as the sea

no more tears

i am just a man

like any other

trust in your plans

and remember that we were spiritual lovers

when you see 

my image in your mind

 

i hear your voice

and i know the love you feel

for me yes i do

no appeal

for the drama i swear i dont 

know how we made it through

we are both mature

funny

how that sounds so damn trite

sunny

are your days

cold and  alone  are your lonely nights

i always say

bridges dont burn

if we learn

what we discern

will determine if we deserve another turn

lets chill

for a spell

im open to doing it all again

time will tell

if we write a love story

or what could have been

just 

an image in your mind
