Dreamscape #24 Poem by Matthew Holloway

We were stood on a bridge
Overlooking a river
In some old European city
The kind where statues and architecture
Make the poets, writers and artists
Get all excited and inspired
It was late in the year
The leaves had begun falling
Leaving a rich carpet of colour
On the pavements outside the cafes
We both wore big coats
Although the sky was blue
And the sun high up in the sky
It was a beautiful cold day
I think I remember music playing
Although not sure of the song
We were lost in the scene
Caught together in a picture
As our hands held together
A padlock placed on the railings
Of the bridge as tourists do
We locked in our story
