the seamstress


in saint joseph missouri is a street called lovers lane

where with a brown eyed beauty eugene field penned it to fame

the poem sublet the surface street as a place to abide

where maple trees could shield a kiss from all the prying eyes

 

i’ve never walked upon that street but if i ever do

the moment will be incomplete unless i walk with you

you’ve sewn a seam that’s in-between the distance of our hearts

a fabric forged from all my dreams that can’t be torn apart

 

and like this poet from the past this street is just a street

it was the hand that he held fast which made the moment sweet

for what surrounds often abounds as just a place to be

it doesn’t matter where we are as long as you’re with me

so let’s walk down this lovers lane or sit by the fire

you sew to flow through all my veins patterns of desire
