Well folks this one goes way back........

when the climate was changable......more volatile...

hope you don't mind me being lazy and posting this


Pull my chair up to the table
All alone I’m sitting there
I’d forget but I’m not able
If I could say I didn’t care

Yesterday when we went riding
On her grey and speckled mare
My love I was sorta hiding
The wind blew stardust through her hair

The sweet scent she left behind her
From her soft and gentle skin
It still makes my feelings stir
But my words wouldn’t let me in

So softly she touched me on my lips
The moonlight in her eyes
Then she kissed my fingertips
A storm caressed the skies

Lightning struck it left its mark
The sulphur in the air
Torrents thick the currents dark
The flood just didn’t care

It tore my banks and carved its way
Meanderings in my mind
And here alone I sit today
Love is so unkind

Now when lightning strikes I run and hide
Preparing for the worse
I batten down and take control
Love is such a curse

I look out of my window
Scrape the ice down from the pane
Hoping to see the sunrise glow
A storms approaching on the plain

A delight to read.
