FOR THE GIRL WHO NEVER KNEW

I placed all of which I am in your hands Dreaming of the gulls in Long Beach Your letter had the allure Of perfume and whiskey Salty kisses at midnight I wrote words for you Carried aloft by Sparrows under moonlight your reply was whispered With passion's hungry tongue And I was taken by you Forever
