The sun goes down

Listen to poem:

I looked for you one last time; as the sun went down I looked for you again; when I was about to run aground Was that my guiding star; it, was nowhere to be found In a sea of contention; you were never really around But even still, as I look for you; the sun goes down

My devotion runs deep, once you make it into my circle I don't abandon you. Unless you choose to abandon me. Devotedly A.S.

Hi dearest friend, I am aware of this feeling! The rhyme expresses the feeling quite well, it’s almost akin to a blues song. Oh. I love the music of Cole Porter and his music gives me goosebumps.. the lyrics capture sadness love joy, the whole span of human emotion. Alas, I don’t play the panel and I’m not Cole Porter,.))) You remind me of Cole Porter but as poet.very cool. Pangie xx
