A Kiss in the Morning Mist

I remember you
perhaps more than you want me to,
I was so happy to be in your presence
that I wanted the night
to never end,
but of course it did
and then as a new day began
two lovers hugged and kissed
in the morning mist,
upon the middle of that day
I flew away
to a far away land
where bombs are wake-up calls
where bullets might be
served with breakfast
and incomings becoming a way of life,
time and circumstance
wait for no one
and I require you not
to wait for me,
but if you do
when I come back
I'll spend some time with you,
perhaps continuing where we left off,
two lovers sharing soft words,
a hug and a kiss in the morning mist.

This is very good, James. Special.

All too familiar sounds James followed by "incoming"!...as if you needed to be told.

I also relate to the girl (always a girl, right?). She worked at a bank and I was going to meet with her on an R&R in Sydney. She changed her plans and I , mine. I ended up in Bangkok and came back with a swell memento, if you know what I mean. One of those 'pipe' gripping mementos.

You shouldn't have reminded me, but your poetry was a very good read. That's what poetry should do in my opinion, stir feelings and create images.

Well done!

...just bein' Bluesy
