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.
