After Dark

After dark I see distant head lights,

coming home closer
to me so it seems.
Clouds passing by
the face of the moon,
eye's that are hers,
I for saw in my dreams.

Love after dark I read in a book,

words written by other's
who lived before and have died.
I am up close now and I can see, I
am to be what other's can't be,

alive in the moment as
moment's can be moment's are.

Ruby red lips, emerald green eyes
and a dress that but
few dare could wear.

Attention and fame up on the stage,
dancing and swaying
for one moment in time,

made possible by people like you,
she once said.
Your judgement is gone
and will never come back,
not as it was
caught up under her spell,
she survives.

After dark when the moon
swells and is full,

fruit that is ripe hangs
down in your face.

And what's in your heart
is reflected in your eyes,

it goes on and on inside of your head.
The song and the rhythm
of a long we'll lived life,

a life that you lived
but now has passed.
