Fleeting Love

Your eyes are like the setting sun— Beautiful, fleeting, and finally, gone. Gone to somewhere far from here, Far from me and the boat I steer.

You'll bring with you the light once more These eyes of mine, what are they for If not to gaze in awe into Your scarlet grace. Your crimson hue

Our paths have crossed in times before, And soon they’ll meet again I'm sure. Alone, adrift on darkened sea, The stars shine dull compared to thee

I know that we will never be; No picket fence for you and me. O bittersweet, my fleeting love— Those sunset eyes I’m dreaming of.
