When Romance Turns Into Living
Rays from the sun shined on our first kiss
warm and bright
and colored our days with garden filled waterfalls
that splayed dewdrops
on the same winds which carried our dreams
from the tender tips of our fingers
to the images imagined on passing clouds
where we found music drifting through our souls
rich and vibrant
the wine of our love was sweet and full
we left no footprints
as our feet were always floating above the ground
our shadows beneath us were of lover's embraced
until the sun's rays set
and the moon rose on parting silhouettes
with tear-stained faces
and pockets filled with unknown reasons
could that we find the sun and turn around
and allows its shine to heal our wounds
plucking the pain from our sorrow
could that we know serenity
by casting aside our pride
throwing it on the burning nakedness of our hearts
to reach beyond our own needs
to give again...without expectations
to find a single candle melting in our hearts
we both can hold when romance turns into living
and we allow one another to shine
in this dim-lit realm of life
as it passes quickly between the sun and moon
will we forgive each other and kiss again
