I Saw a Photograph

I saw the love of my life in a picture
One i had not seen before
The photograph was old
The colors were some how vivid
She was younger then, in the flash 
Of a moment , I saw her in the 
Sunlight  to bright for my eyes
She smiled,  her smile and 
The sun Became one 
I saw a photograph where 
I lingered leaning shoulder against the door way 
Destiny took the place of harmony
She was in the flesh yes
We're destined to become  drenched
In the heat of passion we moaned
She was here in my embrace
And I in her arms  in  the heat 
Of the eternal moment I was there
The shock of it all hurled me back to
Reality I sat in a dimly lit room
Holding a photograph of 
Myself lingering in a doorway alone
