Waiting Shed
June 28, 2009 by jalaxystyx
We arrived too soon on love’s bed
Shedding inhibitions to wait,
Rushing to dusks we thought were late
Time freezes while here standing
Solitude- cold under life’s shade
Memories of us keep meeting
In these shadows, the past won’t fade
When rains, in heavy volumes dropped,
Love’s downpours of promises stopped
Floods arrest the streets with traffic
Please pull over, Days Romantic!
Last summer, along this highway,
We took sizzling trips gone astray
Putting no brakes on raging ride,
Speeding love, a form of suicide
We started from this waiting shed
And couldn’t wait, we were misled
The days were torched by sun’s hellfire
The sparks of stars lit our desire
Our summer love was in full bloom
A sun-kissed flower spraying perfume
That filled the world with love’s fresh air
We breathed a life beyond compare
With much sun though, love will wither
Fit to drown in monsoon shower
That summer fool was hot and proud
Itself consumed, to seasons bowed
These days’ moody tempestuous rains,
Couldn’t drown the voyage of full moon
Sweet past sailing through present pains
I’m soaked in tears of a sobbing noon
We didn’t take needed refuge,
From flaming love’s burning deluge
Blinded by the colors of May
Eyes opened when life became grey
Now, June’s windy breath away blew,
The calm and sweet breeze we once knew
From still shades of this waiting shed,
A moving love had long since fled.
