  Half-Filled Glasses

   I

 Shattered dreams and empty passion,
broken vows and half-filled glasses
waiting along the passage to your heart.

 Silent screams and dirty linen,
sunken brows and twisted glances
watching others play the game of love.

 Wondering how to make it happen,
seeking joy within a rainbow
nursing a love that refuses to die.

   II

 Stolen chances and private fantasies,
midnight kisses and half-filled glasses
watching the moon glisten in your hear.

 Starlight dances and rose fragrances,
twilight moments and crystal memories
shared by two in this game of love.

 Angels watching over our shoulders,
laughing silently in the dark,
smiling as our love unfolds.

   III

 Wedding bells and crowded places,
public vows and half-filled glasses
toasting a love that's born anew.

 Lovers tales and secret spaces,
winding roads and life's companion
enjoyed through each others soul.

 Hearts beating as one,
lives joined in the moment of love,
greeting each day with a song.
