I Walked a Thorny Path Alone

I Walked A Thorny Path Alone I walked a thorny path alone, Bare feet eating dusty ground: I looked back, you were gone, Remained only hollow empty sound, We both racing homeward bound. That Spring morn, you were all mine, Smiling with heart all aglow- Blazing sun you did outshine, Future love, would we know: Loving food yet still refuse to dine? Time told me this pain once before You had shattered me that day I wanted you , desired you, all the more Reunited again each night we could play Until you departed to another shore. Now memories show me your smile Sexy legs and red-hot lips Soft witchery that so beguiles, Face that launched a thousand ships Now I look back a thousand miles! Robert J. Lindley, 4-28-2016
