ON THE ROCKS

Will you ever come back again?

The moment that stays in my head,

The smile and your long hair pinned,

Wind is blowing remembering what you said.

 

The empty daiquiri glass melts away,

Lipstick marks around the edge of the glass,

The ice cubes at the bottom as they lay,

Remembering what you said will soon be cast.

 

A dollar coin on the table is left behind,

Words and memories are left in my mind,

She is gone, will I see you another time,

Is it lost and she is in another clime.

 

Words that she told me “I believe in you”,

The memories never go a drift and are new,

The smile with the red lipstick is my view,

The napkin gusts in cold air of the colour blue.

 

Are you stranded on a freezing iceberg?

I’ll come save you remembering your words,

“I believe in you” and I will go to the verge,

Holding you in my open arms as we merge.

 

I’ll I have is that lovely barrette in my hand,

The one wore at the bar and in the cold land,

Remembering what you said “I believe in you”,

Red lipstick and a pretty smile is all that I knew.
