HAD THE RAINS NOT CHOSEN TO STAY

Folder: 
JOURNAL#7

we met as merely strangers on one bright yet brisk

autumn's day

we neither said very much because I guess now neither

had all too much to say

it was fun filled and free our time together

and we did enjoy our untimely play

but perhaps it would have, could have been better

'Had The Rains Not Chosen To Stay'

my poor feet got so soaked making me walk like my legs

were attached to feet of clay

you said that was fine for now far from you

I your latest play mate could not easily stray

that remark to me really wasn't very funny but I laughed

at you anyway

with your tie all unknotted and your hair falling

haphazardly where ever it cared to lay

you invited me quickly to lunch

I said okay when I probably should have said nay

but later as we laughed ate and talked

I couldn't help but wonder just who in the end was

going to have to pay

not for the food mind you but the heartache that is

soon to come our way

but I'll take a chance on you if you will on me

I'll ask if I may

but only if each our separate lives we don't put

on hold or delay..............
