Two lovers slowly dancing <br />There was stardust in the air <br />Falling on the perfect romance <br />On their innocence and flair <br />Blue velvet long black hair <br /> <br />And you and I were waltzing <br />But it must have been a dream <br />There were legends in the making <br />Drifting through that gentle scene <br />As cool as seventeen <br /> <br /> <br />The double doors swung open <br />And we spilled into the world <br />In between the smoke and mirrors <br />Where forgetting soon begun <br />Our rainbow in the dust <br /> <br />Four lovers slowly drifting <br />As the credits crossed the screen <br />They were legends well past breaking <br />On the dark side of their dreams <br />As blind as seventeen <br /> <br />(chorus) <br />And round we danced as love we chanced <br />The stars were riding on a bet <br />The moon had placed upon the sea <br />And lost as on we danced and fell <br />For soon your cheeks grew wet <br />With wasted years and broken dreams <br /> <br /> <br />16 03 2010<br /><br />jim hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/double-doors/
