My Dawn
you were my first love born
I took you for a dance
once I had my maiden chance
we danced remember Dawn
though the night
your parents were watching from the balcony
I wanted to kiss you
hug you
closely I nearly lipped your nose too
Remember you said
they had eagle eyes
you scared me out of my wits
then you did smile
But I lied
said yes
I know they will only wrath bestow.
and
I withdrew from dancing
being dangerously
too near and slow
Years into the passage of time
I now feel like a coward indeed
why did I not take a chance
just to kiss
perhaps they'd too have
admired us
my O what a miss
Well many tonnes of water
has since flowed down
the MISSISSIPPI the NILE the THAMES
now tears can't help
the time's lost wonderful
and memorable games
just recall the time gone since
but you and I have become a living entity
you in someone Else's arms
so am I
Time heals they say
but my loss of that day
makes me feel like a coward
till today
But it was a risky chance for me
I was mounting a new career
the kiss could have resulted
in the end of me
