I thought they were over. <br />All those lonely years. <br />Souls rolling in clover. <br />Until the mirage disappears. <br />Now I kiss the moon adieu. <br />As on my window pane <br />Run the tears of rain. <br />And music <br />Ascends in blue. <br /> <br />All that jazz <br />Plays back to me <br />As we danced <br />And kissed with urgency. <br />These memories stab <br />As they fly. <br />Oh God <br />Who wouldn't cry. <br /> <br />I thought I was your lover. <br />After all my scars had healed. <br />Never knew <br />I would recover. <br />Until your beauty was revealed. <br />You rescued me my dear. <br />Shipwrecked <br />And trembling. <br /> <br />Now all That jazz I hear. <br />Played back to me. <br />Cruelly assembling <br />A mental picture <br />In a frame. <br />Of you and I, <br />Waving goodbye <br />To a love I couldn't tame. <br />Oh God <br />Who wouldn't cry.<br /><br />Kevin East<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-that-jazz-4/
