EVERYTHING BUT A POSSESSION

 

My partner and lover

My significant other

My best friend and gal 

My confidante and pal

She’s the love of my life

Happily, she’s my wife

WORDS

 

I have tried to find the words

To tell you how I feel

The words that will convince you

That what I feel is real

 

I know that you've been hurt by love

And I've been wounded too

But together we can heal the scars

Of loves which made us blue

 

I had spent some time avoiding love

With its anguish and its pain

But since the moment I first saw you

I've learned to love again

 

If you could only see with my eyes

The beauty you would behold

And with my heart you'd really know

The love of which I've told

 

I know you feel the same as I

When in your arms I lie

I can feel the love that's in your heart

And I'm yours until I die

KEEPSAKE

 

I keep your beauty in my eyes

Your vision adorns my mind

I keep the taste of you on my lips

Your sweetness taints my pallet

I keep your fragrance in my nose

Where it pervades my senses

I keep your tender tones in my ears

Your laughter fills my heart

I keep the touch of you on my skin

The warmth of you in my fingers

I keep the essence of you in my soul

I keep your love in the haven of my heart

FROM THE MOMENT

 

From the moment I first saw you

I knew you were the one

From the moment I first held you

I knew my heart you'd won

From the moment I first kissed you

I found what I had yearned

From the moment I first touched you

I felt my love returned

From the moment I first loved you

I've known the warmth of love

From the moment I first saw you

I've thanked the lord above

 

I SAW YOU AND I KNEW

 

I saw you and I knew

That I wanted you

I held you and I knew

That I was in love with you

I kissed you and I knew

That no other would do

A FAMILIAR PICTURE

 

Seeing you that first time

Was like looking at a picture

A familiar picture

A favourite, dog eared picture

Often viewed, often handled

A picture of someone special

But we had never met

Yet there you were

A familiar picture

A picture in my mind

In my heart, in my soul

A familiar stranger

Who recognizes me

MOONSTRUCK

 

I saw her in the moonlight

Bathed by the white

Of the pale waning moon

And I was moonstruck

An angelic vision

A moonchild of the night

Smiled a knowing smile

And then she took my hand

 

Beneath the splendour

Of the starlit sky

I took her in my arms

And I felt her tremble

 

And there we stood

In the magic of the starlight,

Where we fell in love

Where we were moonstruck
