SUNSET MEMORY

An old porch swing

Made once for two

Cool night breeze calling

Out to you



Ten thousand memories

Rise above

Still sunset waters

Of our love



But like the warmth

Gives way to night

Our passion dimmed

As fading light



Was our love doomed

To come and pass

One day as fire

One day as ash



Hearts that once shown

Like breaking dawn

Sank to the sea

All feeling gone



Now every night

Creeps in the same

Cold crimson sky

Breathes out your name



Night after night

I’m left to trace

The sunset memory

Of your face
