Mesmerising charms
Led me to her arms
A loving place
So why should I run?
Love in my heart
I want to share
But I hold back
And I want to run
Fear is the key,
A deep fear in me
Of being hurt
So I want to run
I need the key
To unlock the chains
That bind my heart
So I won’t run
It was late autumn,
The season was dying
When she sat at his
bedside
Holding his hand
And quietly crying
As she spent that long
last hour
Saying her final
goodbye
We sat coolly in the shade
Of a maple tree
enjoying our picnic
And freshly brewed tea
Days of innocence
When our spirits were
free
And I proposed and
then
You and I became we
We walked along the shore
As the sunset was at
its death
As the breeze caressed
your hair
And I was jealous of
its breath
Hands reach out
Across the lonely void
Groping in the
darkness
Reaching for love,
Blindly searching
For a kindred spirit
A lottery of chance
Without an angel’s
Jezebel struck
At the heart of their
love
With eagles talons
To tear at their bond
But such was their
love
Her intrusion failed
As his breast was
Armoured like a knight
And she slinked away
She gave me her heart
A precious thing
She said belonged to
me
It was beyond
priceless
I should have
treasured it
Guarded it with my
life
But I was a complacent
fool
And she took it back
It will never again be
mine
And I have shed
A thousand lonely
tears
As for her heart I
pine
She was so proud of him
When she saw him in
his uniform
He made such a
handsome officer
Like everyone she was
caught up
In the patriotic
fervour
She wasn’t concerned
about the war
“It’ll be over by
Christmas” everyone said
He would soon be home
again
So she revelled in the
beauty
Of her gallant hero
And she waved him off
to war
She was so in love
With her officer beau
and that moment lived long
In her memory
It was her last memory
of him
For the war wasn’t
over by Christmas
And he wasn’t home
again
The smile that graced
Her sweet face
Was aimed at me,
And her eyes
Gazed deeply into
mine,
With seemingly
boundless love
Feelings which I
requited
And yet as our hands
Reached out
To hold on to our love
It slipped like
quicksilver
Through our needy
fingers
And we were torn in
two
The Seeds of love move
Wind-blown in the
breeze
And settle on fertile
ground
To germinate in
willing hearts
Losing yourself
In the intoxicating
cloud
Of loves first blush
When passion blinds
All judgement
In an all consuming
Giddying jig
Loves refrain
Plays on during
The Joyful dance
Which comes to an end
With the weaving
Of two souls
Until Both hearts
Beat in unison
I hear music on the wind from the sea
I see faces in the
clouds in the sky
I smell fragrant
flowers everywhere I go
And you honey are the
reason why
Fall into my arms
My love
And lay with me
I will hold you there
And if my love
You stay with me
I will cover you
With loving kisses
So let me hold you
And caress you
Let our two hearts
Beat as one
And I will forever
Be yours
No other soul
In the world,
Makes me
Feel so alive
As you
When your love
Touches my heart
She meant the world to me
But I set her free
Now I watch her
passing by
And wonder how and why
I could have let her
go
And the truth is, I
don’t know
The gentle heart, that
Once held love for me
Now holds only
An utter Contempt
For I lost my head
For a pretty face
So I lost her love
And now I’m lost
If only she would turn
And smile at me,
Then in that moment
I would see
I would know
That she loves me
But she does not turn
She does not smile
So I languish in solitude
And hope that one day
She will turn
And smile at me
Show me how to close the distance
Betwixt me and your
heart
What words remain unspoken?
Show me what I should do
I will break no promise
I will leave all vows
unbroken
Love is all I have to
offer
And a true and honest
heart
I won’t treat you as
some token
So show me how to
close the distance
Betwixt me and your
heart
He brings her luxuries
From distant shores
Designer gowns,
Lingerie of silk and
lace
Handmade shoes
The rarest orchids,
Precious gem stones.
Lustrous Pearls
Exquisite golden
baubles
Watches, bracelets,
rings
He gave her everything
He thought her heart
desired
Except the one thing
she craved
His unconditional love
Heart fluttering,
Stomach churning,
In anticipation
As she enters the lane
Expectation heightens
As she proceeds
Closer with each step
Towards the moment,
The anticipated moment
When he comes into
view
Every day it happened
In the leafy lane
They would pass
They would look
They would smile
Then she would
anticipate
The next day’s
encounter
