Romance Poem by William B. Deutscher

Could you imagine a romance
in the setting Sun?
Forget we're going nowhere
with nothing to be done.
Would you tie a feeling
with endless twines of rope,
and vault the shining summit,
your twinkling star of hope?
Should we hang our lanterns
of Japanese style,
illumining the night-lit pathways
for lovers in their guile?
Yes you're in my dreams
wandering hard and tight,
an illusive vision,
soon out of sight.
