Leather Moods
To me, you were the charm handsome brings to view,
the emotional pull in touching love songs,
every dream I wished to never wake up from
and leading star of daydreams I composed, too.
Then, one day you called, spoke with a gusto-coo
to say I was someone you would love to know.
You asked me to be your date at a town dance
and I hoped my joy glow could not phone time show!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We lived years tethered in joy love did construe.
I was happy and you loved happily, too,
but our love’s glory changed stories and turned dark
like your leather moods I grew to daily rue.
Time sowed memories with despair stitched by you.
I bear bruises time cleared long ago - so, know
my pain won't fade like moonlight on flower’s dew.
