Love Poem: Distant Tomorrows

Distant Tomorrows

She was the star in his velvet night
 The steady beat of love's drums
 How distant is that gleaming light
 Too far for love, tomorrow never comes

 She was the bloom that welcomed spring
 When the winter cold succumbs
 A fragrant rose with love to bring
 Would it be there when summer comes

 He found her there within his dreams
 With kisses sweet as sugar plums
 Lost again in an elusive scheme
 Would she be there when dawn comes

 Too far a dream for him to reach
 Too sad the song of dawn becomes
  Melodies with lessons to teach
 But the lyrics say, tomorrow never comes.
