Broken Floor Boards

“You musn’t cry miss,
please don’t cry miss. I’ve saved for you a ration of my bread.”
“Its okay miss, I’ll stay by you miss.”
the words, the young boy said.

“My ma and pa, miss,
said with you, I musn’t speak,
it is war miss, it is war miss,
and you are the ones the uniforms seek.”

“I don’t care miss, I’ll bide my time miss,
I’ll be here for you anyway,
I’ll hide you miss, I’ll hide you,
‘neath the broken floor boards,
a small hollow in my room, miss, for you to safely stay.”

The siren sound,
the siren sound,
echoes through the emptying town.
A sad song, a sad song,
huddling close,
as planes crash down.

Years to pass, years to pass.
“Ma and pa, are gone.
Seems endless miss, seems endless miss,
the guns and suits still carry on.”

“I don’t care miss, I’ll bide my time miss,
I’ll be here for you anyway,
I’ll hide you miss, I’ll love you miss,
‘neath the broken floor boards,
a small hollow in my room,
if it need be miss, if it need be miss,
‘til my dying day.”

“The gunfire has ceased miss,
please take my hand miss,
hold it ‘til time for us comes to an end.
I’ll be here for you miss,
I’ll be here for you miss,
you are my love,
you are my friend.

Years to pass, years to pass,
calmer winds blowing through,
remembering, remembering.
when skies were darkened, destructive reign,
now clear, the days’ view.

“Hold my hand miss,
hold my hand miss, I’ll love you ‘til time’s end
She whispers, she whispers, “I’ve saved for you a ration, of sweet bread,
just for you my love, just for you, my friend.”

Romantic Eve Beneath the Crescent Moon

They drift along the lake,
a romantic eve beneath the crescent moon,
stars glittering, the calm shadows of love stretch over land,
across water, touching gently with their eyes,
he reaches to hold her hand.


They drift endlessly,
the rippling motion, like a dance in the night,
they sway in comforting slow current,
as cloud cover deepens in color,
in their love they delight.

They drift peacefully,
the only sounds, water splashing in song,
they hold closely, watching the brightest star in the sky,
a treasured diamond,
as their love beneath the crescent moon is carried along.

They drift happily,
heart and moonlight shimmer reflect,
as tree limbs reach to touch in magical beauty,
they smile happily,
without a sound,
their hearts connect.

They drift along the lake,
a romantic eve beneath the crescent moon,
stars glittering, the calm shadows over the land,
their love,
touching gently with their eyes,
drifting hand in hand.

Out In the Sun, Beneath the Moon

One step at a time,

a little give and a little take,

without taking it all away,

a better day to make.

Out in the sun,

he held her hand,

warmth,

such a simple demand.

One step at time,

each day another view,

in hopes of sunrises, beautiful sunsets,

you loving me, and I, loving you.

Beneath the moon,

he drew her near,

tenderness,

such a night as thoughts, becoming clear.
