In dubious haste and retrospect
I slowly quiver to genuflect
for tracing sure advancing thee
in bittersweet mystery
still playing cards in smoke-filled rooms
and in the mind in someones womb
do thoughts of life so greatly flare
and travel man to man despair
Yet sometimes castles do appear
and others loved can seem so near
while others loved of long ago
can make you feel you stole the show
and in their memory you fade away
facing still another day
to linger in a memory
and searching for some ecstacy.
