Belfast Remembered

"Belfast Remembered"

Drowsy dreams of misty moonlight,
flowing scenes of unforgotten sights
memories of a melancholy mood,
eternal lovers so misunderstood

pristine dew and soft breezes coo,
sensual images of a youthful you
radiant reflections in a lovers' eyes
tender tears that fall immortalized

dizzying heights of passionate nights,
heavenly rapture of a love so right
Two faiths couldn't keep them apart.
an irony of fated love from the start

sad hearts in bloodstained streets
A child of war cries out in her sleep.
Running through darkened alleyways,
one shattering shot ends their days.

An epitaph is written on the bricks.
A blossomed love ended too quick.
Now silence reigns in a Belfast night,
darkened dreams in the misty moonlight.
