dusk arising

the love years

when the day is nearly done
and the darkening sky is telling me
there\'s a thunder storm coming
like oh so many years ago
when my arms were full of you
caught out in a rain storm
just like the dried out desert sand
you soaked right into me
soaking into you


where do the days go
those days of love and evermore
romance walking on the shore
as the waves of time ever wash away
where does the love go


into a stowaway compartment
hidden beneath my bed
locked up in my head
and here in my heart\'s words
now seldom left unsaid


i miss the love years
