Past Proposal
The sun left the sky
as I lay on the sand
with a three diamond ring
resting cold in my hand
I lay in the place
where I once wrote your name
Till soft ripples of waves
lapped in silence on shore
and washed it away
I can still see you there
whispering in my ear
and beneath a half moon
can still freeze our time
in the shadow of your tear
I remember that night
Our arms in embrace
I saw love in your eyes
and mourn on your face
I remember those lights
as the ship sailed at bay
I remember our dream
built on castles of clay
Unforgotten your voice
though lost in the mist
Years in waiting,a return
My lips still unkissed
I wonder if your fingertips
remember my hair
If in your serene sleep
You imagine me there?
Or,Have you forgotten
the promise we shared
Through new perfume of women
Does this heart go unheard?
