On a December eve I saw a shining sun cruise,
Far into west where he hid his long lost love,
Lonely walker, I walked to east where my love,
Busy bee at work where I joined her in job.
Christmas music played out loud as people shopped,
Bargains they all sought even with their wallets full,
Sought and bought all they liked and maybe more,
I made many smile, some I made laugh out loud.
I saw her walk and talk and then looked me and smile,
Then warned me not to use my phone as I am distracted,
I smiled and obeyed like a child at his teacher’s command,
She has the passion of a rocket to push sales up high.
Her beauty none easily noticed, mall walkers looked past her
They all got a smile from her, my love, the beauty of Bayshore
That moment when I called her that in mind sprouted,
A fountain of new birthed feeling, blossomed bettering my love.
Evening ran in a train and caught the night and tired we all stood,
We all together came, me and her and old Karen stood,
I took my camera that can capture up and down and all around,
And took a picture of us where she rested on a table with a smirk.
The only image of me and my love together, I wish we knew better,
I love her still but her heart far felt; still what felt was dipped in love,
Love I once felt looking in her eyes and the love I still see in her image,
Love in all passion I can never deny, love her world wants her to deny.
