Larry Bradfield Poet Blank verse

I Still Smile

She looked at me as if to say "be mine"
And in return I smiled for I was shy
The moment passed and she moved on alone
And I stayed here for I was shy you see
The sun still sets in flaming reds each night
A silver moon still lights a love's first kiss
The coyote barks as if to say "come dance"
And so the night still holds the same mystique
Tho' years have passed and you are not the same
And I am old but I still smile at times
For I recall unspoken words -"be mine"
Then tear drops fall - where did you go my love
