Beyond the Falls

Beyond the Falls Your emerald eyes aren’t smiling teardrops stain your face your anguish grips me and we share a final sad embrace. The thundering silver waters offer no reprieve the fine mist wraps around us time has come and I must leave. The haunting echo of Niagara says you’ll never leave my mind, had we met much sooner I’d not be leaving you behind. Like two caged birds forced apart, no hope, no chance to fly I’ll yearn for you silently until the Falls run dry. I’m joyous for the time we had days of just a few you filled my life with wonderful Niagara Falls with you.
