Awkward Star Smiles and Melted Night Mist
This is awkward the way stars smiled at me tonight
they had a peculiar twinkle in their bleary eyes
the night mist also melted a just bit too more
getting emotional that my soul had abruptly left me sore.
Going far away miles is no easy job ,life does and often it does
she was on that train walking away far and far miles away from me
the train wheels crunched and crackled refusing to move
knowing my jagged heart that was torn groove to groove.
Her lovely face had those two tears -the pearls-that spoke her inside
she was overwelmed and knew that all right, and was engaged in a fight
in a fight ,to make an appearance to tell her dearest that she was quite all right
her lips trembled and her lovely nose snivelled as her pink cheeks suffused
she was on brink and emotionally wired and fused..to go she was about to refuse.
Our link was that outstretched hand and palm and finger tips
that touched in adieu exchanging the love electrical charge
the pair of palms shook and shook and then held firm on hoove
the train whistled and chugged,that heartless engine,making it move.
A gasp of pain escaped and longing darted to eyes that met
she had to go and I had to have a devil's heavy heart
she stood transfixed to the door as that cruel bogey groaned
I was on an amble trying to keep up the pace as the spectre loomed.
Faster and faster, the train moved and she was just a point
and for me the life had lost meaning and became less of any points
Somehow I did labor a return to my pad sighed and watched the sky
the star smiled awkward and the night mist melted a way too much.
We reunited a month later in a rousing manner.
