I passed you on the street - 1

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

John Lennon

Feeling lost,

A day in the life

Comes to mind.

Put it on and play it loud

Savouring...

Ringo's tumbling drums and

John's laconic voice and

Paul's smooth toffee tones,

     Chasing that piano,

     Riding that determined E.

 

Feeling found,

My heart and soul  

Again fourteen,

My youth, within you,

Without you,

Still a part

Alive.

 

And play again
That song...

But louder now,
I just want to
Turn you on.

 

Feeling

            startling tears

            coursing down

            at the crescendo,
            my soul

            thrumming in my chest.

Sensing
            my cheeks drying salty,

            an arm upraised,

            falling with the fading tones,

            slowly, slowly

            drawing down the memory

            of the time,

 

I passed you there on lilac street,

But could not see  

Through my blind eye.
