What if..

The sun looked at me today,

with it’s orange hue and a tinge of grey

romantic and blue..

But that’s not important,

What is, is that it stared right in my eyes

with eagerness and resolve

like an intense lover

And for the first time

I could sense jealousy,

desire and longing

all as a single emotion,

Now I don’t have a word for that

so let me go with ‘what if…’

And then I wondered

where were you when you were in your full glory

during the day

did you share a wine with sunshine

or did you stroll in Central Park

basking in the warmth.

And then I could sense regret,

too late, homie !

My mistress’ perfume, I smell already

I still would have loved you

but the moon is rising

and I feel I’m home   

Come back again tomorrow,

and maybe we will talk.

The night belongs to my mistress

But come morning, I know

I would wait for your song..
