Betwixt



Betwixt

Sometimes emotions and thoughts can’t be made into words
They exist as does the past, now in time frozen
We remember, nostalgia intrudes
Beware of those rose colored specs

And the sound of Etta James and her Sunday Kind of Love
Is that my imagination or is the sun shining thru’?
The clouds that cover but those memories still shine in me
Duane Eddie and his twangy guitar, the South I left so long ago

Nostalgia’s the emotion filled ocean that rocks me gently
The cracks that tripped me and cracked my lip, all gone
A curious balm that tries to pretend all was love and calm
But the past was reality and the present is always time to come

The accompaniment to all that’s regret, which I’ve none
Well, not strictly true, there’re those I’ve kissed but missed cementing my lust
So to measure success in life is happiness
Pretty women are always better than a million bucks
