In evening's solitude sipping a glass of wine, or
maybe two, and listening to Roberta's love songs
and being spirited away dizzily to dream land
Recalling your eyes that once never wearied of mine
tonight the weight of uncertainty keep my lids wide
envisioning a love and passion waning like the moon
Remembering still...
The baby breathing quietly
Passion wide awake…these are
Times to keep awake
Seeing stars in the distance sky
Childhood screams and dreams are
behind, like our last passionate kiss
My dear we're just tired
So lets just sleep
eternity lies far ahead
leaving love behind
