Who was I before yesterday?
The woman smiling
beneath a shrine
and oh, how I worshipped it.
Draw a line from my
eyes to this vision
of you……
truth and life.
And what is truth and life?
Romance intermingled in the soft
glow of sunset?
No, I prefer to blow the volcano
out of the ground with
some old-fashioned
chemistry!

What’s the difference you say?

Chemistry makes you
forget your name!
Romance puts it on
a card with flowers.

Walk with me, come on,
take my hand
and we’ll coast
along the shoreline,
just before sunset,
we’ll spread a blanket
and make love until
the end of moon’s wane
and then…..we’ll do it again.

For my name was left
in yesterday and today
I am someone else…..

What is my name tomorrow?

Oh, my lover, it depends
on if you are washed
out with the tide of if you,
my poet sweet,
are still holding me in soft,
moist sand as
we begin another memory.

Or perhaps, chemistry,
which ignites the latter.
