Don'T You Cry Tonight

~ "Give me a whisper and give me a sigh" Those soft words following the emotions in your eyes exhale poetry on my whimpered dreams Take from me all that I can give while reaching for that sunset…a distant prism of light "Give me a kiss before you, tell me goodbye" Soft lips in sad shapes, downturned towards darkened fears, moist as they meet in wilted wishes Walking away…a silhouette of that which I long for as tears drift on silent zephyrs "Don't you take it so hard now and please don't take it so bad" To know this feeling, I swear I don’t, still calling out in echoed chants flowing naked valleys Hoping you hear, praying you smile, asking you to listen before the moon fractures in cosmic sorrow "I'll still be thinkin' of you and the times we had...baby" Eternal visions find you and me, hand in hand, dancing on quiet shores, melodic surf rhythms In memories of what can be, should be as stars drip into anguished teacups pleading "Don’t you cry tonight…" Written with a little help from the Guns n Roses song, “Don’t Cry” The italicized lines are lyrics from their song This song came on the radio today and it reminded me I had written this poem. I thought it would be appropriate for today…this is a repost John Hamilton and Heidi Sands may recognize this but hopefully it is new to you. I hope you enjoy it.
