Putting pen to paper...

I am doing the 21st century version anyway. lol

Putting fingers to keyboard,

My hands start to dance,

To the rhythm of the tunes

Flowing in that half-asleep brain of mine

Once I start I cannot stop,

Like a sleepwalker in a trance,

Reminds me of the sand dunes,

Incessantly changing with time

He thought he could write

For ever and ever

All the way till Eternity

Yet for quite a while

The ink did run dry

The poet did ran out

Into the pouring rain

While waiting for the train

He heard a shout

"Why? Tell me why!"

That voice made him smile

A voice reminding him of Destiny

"I will never forget you. Never!"

Her words on that winter night

And now a miracle appears
They finally meet again

In the most unlikely of places,

that city by the sea

"Do you remember"

The refrain came unbidden

He knew the lyrics by heart

For sometime they were kept apart

Contact was forbidden

From December till November

Till the war ceased to be

That insane battle between races

That brought nothing but pain
And fragments of fickle fear

"It's been a while
since I saw your smile"

His tender words enveloped her
In his arms she felt safe
On her cheeks there was a glitter
A teardrop of requited faith

"It's been a while
since I saw your smile"
