A chance encounter with an old romance.

“Playmates”


Little boy come play with me.
Escaping vague realities.

Come sing the songs you left unsung Little boy,
From empty days when you were young

Come cast aside, for just a while,
The frown you force for laughing smiles.

Come take my hand in knowing trust
To find your dreams once turned to dust.

Come feel my warmth and generous kiss
And gather now the love you’ve missed.

Come be my prince, my pride, my peer.
Come be the proof to words I hear.

Come sail my seas and touch my skies
And feel the breeze of cloudy highs.

For I have waited all these years
Through darkened nights and frequent tears
To find that tender, touching soul
That I once lost so long ago.
