When We Made Poetry
Underneath the station lights, I saw you last night beneath the dark sky
I stopping you so I could glance at you, not from afar.
Mesmerised by you looking into your eyes before you passed by
Can endure not, when you pass without a word a phrase uttered
So difficult to entertain so hard to frame into words
Like a phrase from a stranger, much easier to obtain
I saw you up at the fort in the alleyway
Between the leaves and the fog, you slowly walked to me
Through that magnificent grand door
Shivering looking at me so cold you were
In that cold winter day, with the darkness seeping through
The evening sun setting casting shadows on you
You looked like as I've never seen you before
So dapper so debonair.
And I looking for a reason to get closer to you
But a reason I needed not any excuse would do
Just to touch you in the silence of the night
The words came out to play
But tonight I held my hand cupping your head
Standing close as we began to dance moving slowly
Those intricated steps the new craze, all around
I held you tight as we shimmered to and fro
And as the music takes hold our minds in a fog
As we danced and danced on air, so light you were
Our steps our minds so attuned to the music.
No time to whisper to say after such a long time together
We're drifting away, the memories of what I never said
Nor will say, giving me not a chance to say
Please, stay.
Towards the river, we'd walk like, many times before
We'd spend the night, by the lantern light
The fort not so far away
Just sit beside me.
So I can see your face, inhale the scent of you
Touch you again and again, for when you're away from me
I shall exist not completely, nor happily without you
In the night of my nights, when we were fancy, free
There will never be such a night
That night when we made poetry.
