Abandoned Storefronts

Abandoned Storefronts Stardust shimmers
Candle flickers

Dreams sprinkle
Eyes twinkle

Red sunrise paints
Society's constraints

Ocean crashes
Soul's ashes

Bodies push, pull, and glide
Cowboy boots slide
Spirits collide

Big band plays
Lost in your gaze

Time moves and swings
Expectation threaded on tapestry's strings

Turn of the century sepia shades
Names fade

Memories abyss
Time's precipice

Shadows haunt
Abandoned storefronts

Unrequited love's tears
Twilight's silent jeers
