A Night Away From Montreal

The sun fell like a fallen angel
A small town, a small repas de sang
We fell into a land
Where lovers hold hands

Candles shimmered
We saw our faces in cascades
We dreamed of past lovers
We looked forward to our desires

The winds wiped away our sins
As we planned even more carnal desires
The fires, orange and hot
Raging infernos, we said why not

Entwined in dreams
We knew could not be
I drowned in her passion
I died that night, a painless death

No blood or swords did anyone see
As my heart was torn away from thee
Passionate nights, lifeless days
Ghosts laughter my only warning

I fell into the sea
Of what many call life’s misery
I did not drown, I did not die
Here is my immortal warning

Never spend a night away

Having lived in Montreal for almost twenty years I understand you! Beautiful poem although the pain is present! We grow stronger when the heart suffers the most!

Thank you, if you have lived here, then maybe you know the music group Beau Dommage, this poem was inspired by their style of lyrics and subjects.
