Suspended

You brought to me on soft white ecstasy
the whispers of a lover's secret soul
I dreamed of us in rainbow reverie
with memories of our stories untold
You woke one morning just to leave my life
and past the tower drove to find your home
Some cardboard cutout posing as wife
would comfort you in what you could not own
From me or any promises we made
Beneath the tree when grass blades shadowed love
Where touch and sweetened kiss would never fade
we lay together breathing skies above

Then, like hanging some old hat on a hook,
You suspended our passion in a book
