YOUR SHOULDER

When we are close you won't let me kiss
When we are apart our hearts ached with longing
My poetry you use as a pillow
My love you throw away, sadness like boulder in the

deep of the night

New car...does your love wait and endure?
We rode souls afloat thru towns on rainy afternoon
Shoulders still fragrance with powder
Let me embrace you with an abundance of love!!!

It's the shoulder oh how I missed the shoulder
Giving each other regret and longing enduring love
Happy skies poured afternoon rain
Car in the middle of town, heart askew of longing

I left yet still love your shoulder

A strayed whiff of the scent of your hair intoxicated the
wind
I left with tears and broken
Loving you..I love your thin shadow in the rain

Now separated by a vast ocean
My love...we each have our own road apart
Pity how we met yet no chance for the heart

The Ngâu Bridge and the fluttering wings we are apart
