Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

Like a Dagger To the Heart

Joyful memories of days when we sang in the sun 
holding hands and kissing til' the moon  slow rose 
oh how I miss your fancy face, your cute lil' nose 
after the laughter comes the pain, alongside rain   

I recall our promises tied to sturdy bits of twine 
giving me the strength to see life at its best    
oh how I loved you Guy but now, with deep unrest 
I long for the days when you and I met summer   

In your wild wild T, baby Suzy &  Jimmy D 
dancing to Elvis hand in hand 
as we made love in the sand 
after the laughter comes the pain, alongside rain   

Playful as a summer day you knew I was yours  
eyes of glitter, lips of hot, hair of silky black 
oh my darlin' how you always had my back 
I long for the days when you said I love you  

First came kisses , then a love as right as rain,  
then came pain like a dagger to the heart, insane !
