Warm Night In June

I sit and watch the lights that line the pier

I sit and listen to the waves in the dark

I hear the amusement arcades tunes

On this warm night in June

I hear the laughter and the fun

Of the people all around

Seaside smells of fish and chips

And seeing young people staggering drunk

Having such a fun time

On this warm night in June

The season will be over too soon

And then the fun dies down

And the arcades close

And the lights go out along the pier

But the sound of the waves is always there

This reflects how we’ve been over the years

You’ve gone but I am always here

The fun has ended now there is only tears

This will be the future I fear

Until I find a warm night in June

With someone else but it won’t be you.

Pandita Sietesantos Date: 6/8/2018 11:15:00 AM Faux, this is such a sad but beautifully written piece that just tugged at my heart! Great symbolism - the closing of the arcade and the loss of love! But there is hope for the future with, perhaps, happiness with a new love! Well done, my friend! Hugs.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/8/2018 9:35:00 AM I can almost see the arcade closing down, and hear the waves lapping against the pier. Nicely felt. Login to Reply Fauxcroft Wade Date: 6/8/2018 9:59:00 AM Thank you I am glad the imagery resonated with you.

I think we all try when writing to reach out and touch people so when that happens it feels good to know.
