Distant Tomorrows

She was the star in his velvet night The steady beat of love's drums How distant is that gleaming light Too far for love, tomorrow never comes She was the bloom that welcomed spring When the winter cold succumbs A fragrant rose with love to bring Would it be there when summer comes He found her there within his dreams With kisses sweet as sugar plums Lost again in an elusive scheme Would she be there when dawn comes Too far a dream for him to reach Too sad the song of dawn becomes Melodies with lessons to teach But the lyrics say, tomorrow never comes. -- 11-16-18 Tomorrow - Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
