Lover's Park

No park is ever named Lover's Park But in every city there's one, Where shadows coalesce to shadows dark Fingers delve buttons undone. There ain't no lover not grazed its grass Bunked classes to warm its bench Whispered sweet nothings in adolescent crush Suffered failed love's heart wrench! They only know how precious the gain To walk the patch of green turf Holding the hands leaving the pain Finding for love a safe wharf! Bloom there the petals of budding romance Ripened and raw and all class Souls spellbound eyes in trance Leave tears and joys on the grass! I too had walked on the lover's park Drowned in a teen's happiness Found within love's first spark Carry to this day her face!
