longtime here

When all the others were gone
you were still there

unexpected

small and silent, hanging in.







Those bedroom nights,
the piano’s warm and gentle flight
and passions able to be realised

are now colours, tones and hues
in another memory’s shade,
floating in a fluid made rich with age,


Behind these lights of nowaday,
those nights have now gone
clean away.

....just get it all down,
get it all down
she used to say....

Many favours and lies have passed
and many bridges burnt
since that once upon a day.......




But you are here

unexpected still,

Now longtime hanging in.










And high above the city line
in tranquil vision of an ancient stream
we two are part of symmetry reflected there

another part of the magic dream

longtime here



now
