WHAT’S TOP OF YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST?

 

“What’s top of your Christmas list?”

I was asked right out of the blue

“The loveliest girl ever” I replied

And on Christmas Eve I met you

WE MET AT THE CHRISTMAS PARTY

We met at the Christmas party

And I instantly fell in love with you

The prettiest girl in the room by far

Dressed in shades of Christmas hue

And when I heard your joyous laugh

The blissful love in my heart grew

And though we had never spoken

Nonetheless I somehow knew

That for every Christmas to come

In my future I'd still be loving you

So, I look back, with you in my arms

As my Christmas prediction came true

IT WAS A GOLDEN DAY

 

It was a golden day,

When in matrimonial show

You set upon the path,

In partnership for Life

A fifty-year sojourn

Via hill and vale

From glorious summer

Through to autumns glow

SHE BLESSED MY LIFE

 

She blessed my life

When she came to stay

And I love her more

Each and every day

It would break my heart

If she went away

THE THREAD OF LOVE

 

The thread of love

Our hearts entwine

I have all her love

And she has mine

 

Bound together by

Loves eternal vine

I have all her love

And she has mine

I’VE LOST MY HEART TO ANOTHER

 

I’ve lost my heart to another

She is fairer than a rose

The gentlest girl I’ve known

Who is purer than the snow’s

And all the time I’m with her

My love for her just grows

BENEATH THE MOONLIT SKY

 

Beneath the moonlit sky

The romantic feeling grows

And on that star filled night

Love blossomed like a rose

SHE WAS PETITE

 

She was petite

And beautiful

A gentle glowing face,

Open and friendly

With intelligent eyes,

Like sparkling sapphires

A smile played about

Her honey sweet lips,

So soft and pink

Her hair the shade

Of ripened corn

Blew in the breeze

She was petite

And beautiful

And totally out of reach

YOU HAVE MADE AN ERROR

 

You have made an error

If you have to run

Barefoot on hot coals

Hotter than the burning sun

Just to prove to them

That you are their only one

FLEET YOUNG FOOTSTEPS

 

Fleet young footsteps

In a headlong rush

Running towards romance

Barefoot in the meadow grass

Love-struck on a woodland path

Sprinting along the beach

Splashing through the water’s edge

And into the arms of love

BENEATH THE STAR FILLED SKY

 

Beneath the star filled sky

Moonlight bathed the sand

As we danced barefoot

Around the campfire

With sand between our toes

And romance in our hearts

IT WAS MORE THAN THAT

It wasn’t the sugar sweet

Words of love

From your mouth

That made me love you

It was more than that

 

It wasn’t the honey coated

Sensual kisses

From your sultry lips

That kept me loving you

It was more than that

 

It wasn’t the wonderful

Toe curling joy of sex

That cemented

My endless love for you

It was more than that

 

It was then and is now

The essence that is you

Shining from within

That won my heart 

YOU TOOK ME BY STORM

 

You took me by storm

Broke my resistance

Conquered my heart

Quite mercilessly

But on the way

To capturing my heart

You tainted me

MY LONELY HEART

 

My Lonely heart

My silent companion

You empathize

And feel compassion

Even in an age when

It’s out of fashion

Yet still I am alone

With my unspent passion

MIRROR IMAGE

 

I thought that you

Really loved me

But I was wrong

And in reality

It was just my love

Reflecting back on me

RED SAILS IN THE SUNSET

The Platter’s were crooning

“Red Sails in the sunset”

So I asked her to dance

And the moment our eyes met

My heart sailed away

And it hasn’t returned yet

AS WE LAY UNDER THE STARS

 

As we lay under the stars

I had the perfect trinity

Music in my soul

Love in my heart

And you in my arms

SILENCE IN THE MEADOW

 

Silence in the meadow

As we lay amidst the flowers

Young lovers entwined

In the moonlit hours

When love is keenly felt

We succumb to cupids powers

But as night gives way to day

The love we feel is ours

LOVES FIRST STING

 

In my autumn days

I fondly remember

Loves first sting

And how my heart sang

Loves perfect melody

In loves sweet spring

DRINK TO THE GLORY OF LOVE

 

Drink to the glory of love

From the loving cup

Before it spills

And evaporates away
