Free Cee a Song For C B and Me

THE ACRYLIC BLUES Warm winter days……… and sultry summer afternoons With rainbows so bright……. they could even shine at midnight Those were the merry days…… those were the very merry days When you spun silly little stories under the sun But I was only twenty and you were only twenty-one I was only twenty the day our eyes first met I was in a Toyota, and you in your violet corvette We raced off the line, and how your mag-wheels spun We met when I was twenty, but things changed when you became twenty-one Sundays spent bowling when the lanes led lovers to lover's lane Mondays meant wishing for Sunday’s strikes and colorful bowling shoes When there were no acrylic blues to match the sky that we sat under Days when our love chased away the thunder…. Evenings woven only for souls like me and you But I was still twenty when you turned twenty-two I was only twenty and came upon a dream You led me to lakes and strolled me to a stream I remember your kisses were moist as morning dew We met when I was twenty but things changed when you turned twenty-two Boat rides, carousels and clowning ‘round in the snow A couple happy to have nowhere to go….Candlelit dinners with fine china and wine Glad only to be each others “mine” Ohhhhhhhh you caught me and taught me about pleasantries and such And I turned liquid when you’d touch your fingertips to my heart I would speak to you with flowery words Of memories from my childhood When being good meant an ice cream cone And never being left alone Then finally set forever free And oh the way you made love to me when you finally turned twenty-three And then I turned twenty-four Which opened the door and you were no more A portal for my ex-lover to portend………. who promised me forever but then I married a man with his shirt neatly tucked in And Lord knows that night was when I lucked out And made him mine as mine can be So I may one day forget twenty-three But I will remember forever twenty-four---when Mr. Right walked through my door……. © 2012 copyright PHREEPOETREE…...~free cee!~
