One For the Road
A Couple of Flowers play
like the ones on display
as you lay across the piano
sweet melody flows through
the air, the atmosphere
is thicker than the moonlight
shining over the city
such a pity we have to depart
your mold is like modern art
your eyes, lips, fingertips
hips, thighs, and toes
resembling the distance
between 2008 and nowadays
so thin but so immaculate
the attraction for each party
became thinner by the millisecond
I would lose my family
and you would hold yours closely
forever we had a hold of our endearing
departure....
I can see through you
as a tear becomes clear
as of the moment, I did not pick up
I drench my soul in the cup
a cigarette to the whim
of the tray
Maybe another lifetime
we can lay and make so much love
the harmonies would sing heavenly
but we know our future
I shall be gone onto the trip of Noah
While you anticipate the great flood
or maybe it's the other way around
Maybe it sounds like true wishes
or a simple gesture of one more kiss
one last embrace
you touch my chin
and the thoughts erase
As reality hits post-haste
for you are a drifter of my past
a blurred face
in the smoke ropes
the song constantly skips
no need to fix the needle
because I would rather
let the groove fine its place
back to the space of what could have been
our favorite song...
