Two lovers walk into the sunset,
The golden rays accentuate
The beauty of their relationship.
They have gone astray to be together,
To get away from the calamity of the world.
Their hearts entwined in a whirlwind of love.
Rain falls down on them slowly,
Landing like a gentle kiss.
Passion has been invoked in them.
A love seemingly pure is growing here.
They stop and embrace one another,
Both cherishing the others presence.
Rain falls harder now,
soaking their hair and clothes.
The sun has set behind the horizon.
Though the sun is gone,
The light of their love is still alight.
• • •
The embrace is shattered in a moment.
A bright light. Then nothing.
The news plays drearily on the radio the next morning.
Their families lament for the loss of their children.
An intoxicated woman is put away.
A tragedy in a small town,
And the final nail in the coffin.
The love is gone,
And my two best friends are lost forever...
