Sweet, sweet Emily
My
sweet confection
With
Demerara skin
A
honeyed morsel
Wrapped
in white silk
Just
visible beneath
Her
pristine shirt
Tantalising
the senses
Are
the chocolate peaks
Of
plump brown muffins
Sweet
caramel delights
Perfectly
formed
In
provocative silhouette
To
whet the appetite
Sweet,
sweet Emily
My
sweet confection
My
favourite desert
When the burning sun sinks low
Setting
the western sky aglow
And
the evening shadows grow
It happens again and again
A
simple smile and I dare to chance
That
this might be the one
It happens again and again
A
simple smile and I dare to dream
That
this might be the one
But
alas no it’s a familiar theme
Skipping stones across the blue
Sharing
holiday laughter and fun
When
amidst the joyful splashing
It
hit me like a bullet from a gun
Why
was I playing childish games?
With
a girl who was built to stun
So,
I looked at her and smiled
Took
her hand and called her Hon
Then
we walked barefoot in the surf
Holding
hands beneath the sun
On
a day neither of us would forget
When
our first love had begun
I wanted her
To
stay in my arms
To
be my girl for ever
But
her feelings for me
Evaporated
like mist
In
the heat of the sun
Leaving
only shadowy memories
Of
passions passed
And
I am alone
Unable
to cry the tears
I
just keep asking why
But
in the hollow void
Of
my empty heart
Only
silence echo’s
Silver moon above mountain blue
Is
there another looking at you?
Shooting
star flashing across the sky
Is
there another asking you why?
It
is my love wishing on that star
