blithesome

the lovers kiss on the platform
blithesome and darling and free
enveloped in the invisible
oblivious to the trains
roaring past and bellowing
locked in a moment
lost in each other
we unwitting voyeurs
smile wistfully
as the carriage rolls past
in memory
that kisses
are also
a promise
in memory
of our own
long forgotten love
long forgiven lies
and because
we long
for young lovers' bliss
