Poetry/ Four Beers, Three Moons and Way Too Many Miles

Four beers, Three moons and Way too many miles
She danced through his mind again as the time slowly slipped away
Four dreams, Three wishes and Far too many smiles
It was her laughter that kept  him warm, when the night hid from the day
Four words, Three tears, he Said too few worthwhile
He left her world behind and watched his sanity start to stray

The world was once a brighter place, of Cheer and Hope and Dreams,
With blue skies bright and Summers long and songs of loving Themes

Four more, Three less and Too lost somewhere in the fog
She danced away every night, through grey and dark and gloom
Four chances, Three lies and Too long loves broken cog
So gently he pushed her away in that Charleston motel Room
Four reasons, Three doubts and Too old to teach this dog
He walked away down cobblestones, he couldn't be her Groom

The world was once a brighter place, of Cheer and Hope and Dreams,
With blue skies bright and Summers long and songs of loving Themes

Four breaths, Three shots,and too late to use his guile
She danced her dance of love once more, as the music slipped away
Four promises, Three broken, and too long without her wiles
He saw her ghost slip from his mind, there will be no other day

Four beers, Three moons and Way too many miles.

The world was once a brighter place, of Cheer and Hope and Dreams,
With blue skies bright and Summers long and songs of loving Themes
