Sunset Memory

An old porch swing Made once for two Cool night breeze calling Out to you Ten thousand memories Rise above Still sunset waters Of our love But like the warmth Gives way to night Our passion dimmed As fading light Was our love doomed To come and pass One day as fire One day as ash Hearts that once shown Like breaking dawn Sank to the sea All feeling gone Now every night Creeps in the same Cold crimson sky Breathes out your name Night after night I’m left to trace The sunset memory Of your face
