Carole Duet Poet Couplet

Aqua Sky

AQUA SKY

As I watch the sunset aqua sky
  pink and purple clouds float by.

And when I look closely I see
  cloudy faces of him and me.

But quickly they fade away
  into shades of white and gray.

And thinking as the sky grows dim
  this is my last night with him.

Leaving him is hard to bare
  because I don't know where
  or when
  I'll ever see him again.

I'll miss his smile and loving hands.
I'll miss the palm trees and warm sands.

I'll miss the way he loves me too.
For him I know no one else will do.

And when the morning comes he'll say he loves me so
  and it breaks my heart to know
  once again I must fly
  into that aqua sky.


Good bye, my love....
