NEW YORK HEARTBEAT

doubt if there was anyone to
 blame ..
 I think that crazy year was
 marked by fate,
 The summer seemed to hold some
 secret shame ..
 The immemorial moon was hot
 WlIn nate
 Our songs had neither grace nor
 witchery,
 And there was terror in the kisses
 kissed ..
 The nights came down with dread
 monotony
 And you were there .. but
 there as in a mist;
 There should have been storm to break the heat
 Some cool and golden interlude
 GO SIldlS
 But we were set on heartbreak and
 defeat,
 And disillusion trembled in the I doubt if You and I need take
 the blame
 A ghost flew by and cupped dying
 flame!
