Fierce  Romance

When the rain falls gently
the roof sings with it's dance.
I think of our best, poorest times
arm in arm, celebrating our romance.

As the air freshens and clears
the earth smells like it's had a bath.
Memories of our booth at the Honolulu
telling wild tales of future and past.

Now, when it rains the years fall away
loving you more, but it's different.
Everything for us then was fresh, clean
our time and passion well spent.

As the rain kisses our roof
I remember your laugh, our wet feet.
Your smile beneath the yard-sale umbrella
as we kissed in the middle of our street.

Years later, she smiles from her knitting
memories!... as the rain begins it’s dance.
Her gentle eyes question,  fill me with yesterday
a time of muttered love and fierce romance.

"Tis ink coming
from his arm,
Captain!"
