Tides of Time

As we seek the flowing streams along this rugged course Is the boundary which we share just a memory from the past Will shameful desires be found in the specters of remorse? In bending heart and soul, will moments expand so dreams will last?

A Rose by a rambling brook In the early misty morn Brings the sharpness of a daunting look From a face so weathered and worn

Like the many straining shadows, to dash this urge of mine? Our roving eyes come to meet, across a crowded room Bringing back forgotten thoughts, as memories begin to pine Of love we once enjoyed as the past begin to loom

Wishing reverting passion would slowly commence to stray Trying to hide the feelings, I stared another way You with your husband, me with my wife Slowly turning towards each other, we smile to cover the strife

Concealing the sultry feelings we shared so long ago I whispered to my beloved, it's best we do take leave Wondering as the door is closed could she possibly know Not a word was said as we drove home thru the rustling leaves

I feel a sudden sadness that I cannot explain Deep inside I fear she knows of this blissful crime It sings of lonely memories filled with lustful pain Of the tryst, I tried to hide amid the tides of time
