Dust in the sun light Twinkle beyond bright I took you with a smile Then a beckoning of my voice You said you liked my style Then it all fades away We hold hands Night and day We made plans To get far away From all the eyes That just seemed to take you from me. Fades to the night when you cry Carmel and Vanilla Always went good together I thought But because of this We fought Baby, skin color is just shade Baby, skin color shouldn't make this fade Baby, your memory still lingers My days grew dull They grew dark I lost myself We grew apart Then I saw your spark. You in his arms. Tall dark and handsome. Like rain drops from the heavens I've cried a river Like a builder of the ancients I've built me a bridge Like a explorer of old I've made my way across I've done as you told me So here I stand There you are Still you don't quite see So in anger I must tell you baby I've burned that bridge I'm trying to build another Over this ridge, across this canyon So I can climb over that mountain... I just wish you were still my companion LostPoet "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde |

Dear Lost Poet First thing when I get home from work. I look on this page and see if anyone has written anything and gotten only a few or no comments. I find this intolerable. You work hard on your poem and people don't look at it. Now this poem is good but I have a question: why do you fight over carmel and vanilla? I think I'll go right to the corner and ask that goofy guy over there with smile on his face why this is. |

Carmel and Vanilla are metaphors for skin color. |

I got it poet.. Like rain drops from the heavens I've cried a river Like a builder of the ancients I've built me a bridge Like a explorer of old I've made my way across . I do enjoy your poetry  |
