Just Another Day

Another day Again no lover to warm my heart Another night I know I shall sit alone in darkness Another walk in le jardin sans amor Me, my life has ended, she left me heartless All around young lovers stroll, hand in hand As I admire old men playing chess Children fly their kites They run and sing, spring in their steps Cotton candy vendors shout their wares The cafes are full, with life and love I wish I could believe Wish I could love again Me, I am almost old The songs play over and over in my head Lovers all around, as I drink my wine Another day Without the profoundness of love Glass to lips, I drink to a life that was not to be The waiter with eyes, asks another glass? Why not I say? It’s the anniversary Of just another day

Arthur.....WOW! This is very beautiful...even with that sad note ringing through. You have such a beautiful way with words. One of the best....thanks for your recent visits. I hope you were able to get back on the chair after having a good laugh at my Betty C poem! ;) Men won't admit it.......but at their heart of hearts...they are all CAVE MEN!
