Sunset

When I caught the first ray from her smile,
Not bettered even by the sun in the sky,
I knew I had to turn the page,
For a new day had begun ..

Spent an eternity watching her rise,
My smile never ceasing,
With every step she took,
Breathing beautiful life into me ..

With her bright rays,
Caressing my every inch,
I walked in a daze,
And feel myself pinch,
For an angel walked this earth,
With her hand in mine,
And the heavens watching in mirth,
For, the clock stuck nine,
And filled me with her dearth ..

For I stand here,
Clutching my heart,
As it twinges,
With eternal despair,
Feeling my lifetime drain,
Uttering a random prayer,
I have another song to sing,
Another one for her,
But I stand here, losing my sunshine,
All in a momentary lapse of reason ..

Forever young

Let's go for a beer,
See you at the bar,
Need no reason to cheer,
The night's still young ..

Pop out for a smoke,
Borrow or lend an ear,
Pop in for another beer,
There's another song to be sung ..

It all seems like a blur,
When the nostalgia takes over,
To the times that we were,
Feeling forever young ..
Drinking wine at noon,
Strumming a random tune,
Acting like a loon,
In a time far flung ..

The tables start to creak,
More beer we seek,
Last one for the week,
We say, in an almost foreign tongue ..

Why stop, lets go hop,
They say, let's live until the last drop,
Or until they shut up shop,
But the life in me is wrung ..

As I trudge forlorn,
And stifle a yawn,
I realise, the show will go on,
Until they come unsprung ..
But I slip into a daze,
And dream up many ways,
To lead me back to those days,
When we were forever young ..
