Gone, Our Days Dancing In the Splashing Rain

Gone, Our Days Dancing In The Splashing Rain As this our time retreats into faded thought and our nights of love become a pain We can both see that with a dear price bought our days dancing in the splashing rain Should we again find our way into love's realm tempest breaking the greatest storm apart Ship on truest course with heart at the helm finding treasures not seen on any chart When hope, our only saving grace fell very far did we regret the touch of our lips then Or invite in the misery creating this deep scar thus viewing all our love passion as sin What of the sorrow that chills us both so deep deadly words that slash with no remorse Nay, the damnation and costs make us both weep each crying out for a much happier course Has this time sealed our doom and failed pride a journey based upon mistakes and lies Drowning as we fail to cross darkness so wide death under black waters with broken ties Never reaching up for that romance saving hand content to lick and eat our own pride Saddest traveler into desolation's blackest land moaning out regret as we enjoy the ride Will our stubbornness give birth to great defeat a testament to anger's futile arrogance A nasty meal we each still find begging to eat no victory in foolishly killing romance Robert J. Lindley
