Things change much slower than we want to believe.
Long Ago and Far Away
Meeting at a surprise birthday party
she and I admitted we knew only
one other person there - our date - now
busily chatting with another whose
date was casting for new prospects, too
In those different times each sought
someone eagerly who would stay by
their side and in the exchanges get to
learn that person well perhaps toward
the kind of affection and caring seen in
others - but even back then our hope of
having a love develop was much like it
appears today - long ago and far away
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
much love, M
