David Smalling Poet Rhyme

A Parting Night

Far away in the sultry night 
A horn impatient blowing 
Conscience delayed the vulture's flight 
The heart's intent is knowing 
And the candles left still burning 
And the song is playing softly 
O bed with comfort conspiring 
To break a heart ungently 
Far away in the sultry night 
Love is conquered and decieved 
The luscious apple brims the sight 
And sorrow's pale web is weaved 
I know you would not stay for long 
I felt your heart receding 
You could not dance to just one song 
Go down, your car is waiting.
