The Couple on the Street

From the lightning flash,
she counted fifteen seconds,
her eyes as wide as a twelve-inch record.
'The eye of the storm has passed' she reckoned.

He wiped her face of damp
to bring her perfume nearer,
the sheltered bay of a warm interior,
a funky roadside cafeteria
where circumstance gives fate a little shove.
The couple on the street are falling in love.


A single drop of rain, a pearl on a portico,
traversed the steel of a scaffold pole
and fell upon his face below.

He touched it to her lips.
His senses came alive
like all the buds in the city mile
had bloomed at once in her perfect smile
and circumstance gives fate a little shove.
The couple on the street are falling in love.

The city moves again.
The squares are bathed in light.
The sun in the sparkling raindrop shines
to offer up its refracted insight.

The city ambles by,
the couple quite oblivious,
lost in the realm of a million kisses
though the sun and the rain
and the street bear witness
and circumstance gives fate a little shove.
The couple on the street are falling in love.
The couple on the street are falling in love.
