Under a flashing street light

We were talking about our great past.

Oh, how it used to shine bright

Under the sun’s fierce blast;

No light in the universe had an equal sight.

Now, this flashing light might be in its last

Attempt to tell the coming of night.

We had the raindrops of love cast

On our faces, a gleeful sprite.

There, your eyelashes brushed fast

My tears away. In this blissful rite

We kissed.

Yea, we kissed each other from the

Lips.

You know what happened afterwards.

How the lights of our love dispelled

The darkness with the laughter

Of our joyful children.

How we left the flashing street light

Retreating into the dark room

To make love and to create lust.
