I Recall

Yellow moon Watching over the night Fancy shoes Tight blue jeans….. Arm in arm we would walk Downtown to the disco hall. A time to rave Perhaps a beer or two As we took to the floor. The secrets of your dark eyes Looking into mine Back to my younger days. Flowing rivers Meandering down the hills….. Hisses and trickles A doves coo and answer. Where it all began For me and you. I recall you gentle woman With silver spangles in your eyes. Ebony skin Against the sunshine The taste of one sweet time I shared only with you. Today I stare in the darkness Soft breezes blow From the lands and the hills. I watch you sleep beside me Little known to you Who at this time owns my mind. Dark eyed lady I hear your laughter And the disco times In my head. While my wife and babies Sleep here beside me As my heart and soul travels back in time.
