Heart Movin' On

Must be movin' on now..
you know it's really best.
Leave just before waking dawn,
holding memory close to breast.

Will fingers remember finer place..
lasting rondo round held sway.
Heart promised her gentle face,
from parting at break of day.

"Leave just before waking dawn, holding memory close to breast." How touching and romantic. These two lines made me teary-eyed, Richard. BW ~ Mala

Some people can't get close in relationships because they fear the loss if something happens so they just keep movin' on. Enjoyed reading your work. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
