another love poem
Obviously, I was inspired to write this poem after watching the film with the same title. I was heady. soaring with all the love and tenderness I absorbed after watching it. This is my all time favorite romance flick. so simple. so true.
=======================
BEFORE SUNSET
Come, my dearest one
Let me take you by the hand
For a trip to a familiar land
Hurry my love, while up is still the sun
Follow the cadence of my strides
I promise this won’t be a bumpy ride
For from youth’s recklessness I learned
To ashes have gone that easily burned
Come, our footprints we will retrace
Through the sweet, bitter memory lanes
Recapture those blissful days
And bury past hurts and pains
Before the sky cloaks itself to slumber
Let me behold the loveliest face
That shimmers under the sun’s soft rays
Whose soul I shall always remember
