The Face in the crowd
Around the ring I rode with the sound of the peoples applause, cries so loud that it fills my ears like water overflowing from a jug.
Then i saw you, not just a face in a crowd! But a face that lit up like a flame.
Eyes as green as emeralds, hair as golden as the warm summer sand. Lips as pink as your rosy cheeks.
Upon your wrists were golden bands that glittered in my eyes, as your hands clapped and beat out a heady rhythm
Faster and faster I rode, so that I may gaze upon your face again. That face that made my heart miss a beat.
I caught your sight and I smiled so wide, a little knowing wink that meant stay there my sweet I want to meet you.
I want to know you, I want you to know me. But in a heartbeat you were gone.I looked at an empty chair.An empty space that once had held hope.
I had lost you forever............................................
