Soliloquy

We met when I was just 16 and you were 24
Surrounded by the old worlds charms yet always wanted more
We walked the late-night streets with whiskey on our breath
And kicked it to the few of those who dared to face our test.

We broke our minds on poetry and whispers in the dark
And held each other's hearts in hand and raised up to embark
Upon the seas that few will go for coming back there’s nil
A chance to right the wrongs of time and to history distil

One night when all was quiet in town you dressed me in your clothes
And painted on my face and hands the matrons gawdy pose
Into the dark we two pursued the wild and weirder shows
Of all those that are lost among the poet's woeful throws.

And time again we ventured out into the darkened streets
Looking for the hope of life to give our souls relief.
Our hearts were pure but minds confused so trouble did reveal
To us the bleeding hearts of lovers lost lying on deaths sill

And through that open window we did carry on our way
Never taking poise to measure the depth of troubles day
I sang to you so sweetly the songs of broken hearts.
As wine we drank and howled up to the moons waning path.

The cold morning light of day now filters through the gaps
We tramp upon the broken ground and tripping on the cracks.
And songs we’ve sung a thousand times grow silent and grow stale
Perhaps the life we once did live now wants our love to fail.

You’ve found new friends I see with silver on their eyes.
Who walk the river banks in search of fames shallow disguise.
When once we were so wild and free with nothing in our purse.
The current of the green-eye'd clams have washed away loves worth.

Now strangers in the streets we pass with nothing to be said.
I wonder how you sleep at night alone in your bed
When all is said and done it seems a teacher you are to me.
So, I’ll thank you for these lessons learnt, for that at least was free.
