Rainy Day Movies

It was raining I remember
A day so far away.
A grey day of
Cloudburst and melancholy.

We sheltered in the old cinema.
It was a relic from the past.
faded red plush seats
and golden filigree.

I sit there once more.
As I so often do
on rainy days like this.
I know this old movie by heart.
But it is not why I return

Closing my eyes
I hear your voice whisper
as it did so long ago.
Your memory returns to me.

"I feel you here again my love
My heart is quickened
at the touch of our hands
You are so much what I need
I am falling for you"
she whispered.

I knew even then
you were beyond me.
Such beauty is for gods.
Not mere mortal men
Such as I.

Even So
My poets eyes
filled with the glow
of all the love that I had.

"You are the peace I need
The refuge God made for me
I shall love you forever"
She whispered.

You are of course
gone from me now.
I know my heart
did not heal
Quiet as it should.
And it has
remained uninhabited
for all this time

"I must leave my love
I am so in love with you
and I shall never forget
what we shared together
But my dreams are faraway."
She whispered

I return to the cinema
the endings are the same.
Yet for a fleeting moment
Closing my eyes
you are sat here
with me again.

I feel my hand
slip into yours once more.
Then all is well
and the world is right
for just a little while.
