The Time Came

 

The time came

when we no longer smiled…The way we did at Table 26…

 

That day the rain drenched us…

We embraced

against a tree

and melted a kiss…

 

Never returned…

 

No longer did we     dance as one

as we did at Bice…

 

No longer did we turn in bed with desire… 

 

We came together with passion ablaze 

a time ago.

 

But our souls never kissed and the passion departed:

   Slowly

   Silently

   Secretly

 

Leaving us empty:

   Unknowingly

   Untrustingly

 

It came time for leaving…

 

The sea we knew the summer of 21 said of us:

      "They loved one     

        Sunday…

        The tide came in,                  

        The tide went   

         out”…
