THE BOOK OF LIFE

 

My life is like a book

Filled with all the special moments

And endless characters

Each page a catalogue of my experiences

Every up and down

Every high and low

But my life only truly began

When you turned the page

And started a new chapter

YOU ARE MY RAINBOW

 

Red is for your passion

Orange is love’s warm glow

Yellow is the light

Green is for your eyes

Blue is for the clarity

Indigo is for your radiance

Violet the scent of love

And like my love for you

A rainbow has no end

SOMETIMES THERE IS RAIN

 

Life cannot always be sunshine

Sometimes there is rain

But when both come together

Then beauty is our gain

As a rainbow is the result

Iridescent in the sky

YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE

 

You are the sunshine

That makes the whole world smile

I am the rain

That cools things down awhile

Together we make a rainbow

That everyone can see

The vibrant colours in the sky

Shout out that you love me

EPITHALAMIUM # 2

As spring turned to summer

Nary a cloud marked the sky

As I looked at my maiden fair

I wiped a tear from my eye

As we stood before God at the alter

And made our vows, my love and I

OVERTHROW OF THE HEART

Love once reigned in my heart

But it has been deposed

Because I didn’t try to keep you

The coup went unopposed

 

Now loneliness reigns supreme

That Prince of misery

If I had fought to keep you

You might still be with me


THE WONDERFUL GIRL I SEE

 

Why do I love you?

Well, it could be

Because you’re beautiful

Or that you’re funny

 

It could perhaps be

That you laugh at my jokes

Or that you chose me

When there are better blokes

 

It might be because

You’re caring and sharing

Or of modest disposition

Though cautiously daring

 

Why do I love you?

It could quite easily be

Your wisdom and intelligence

Or that you’re pretty and witty

 

But it doesn’t matter

What superlatives I apply

Or how long the list of traits

And attributes that I supply

You wouldn’t recognize them

The wonderful girl I see

Would be a stranger to you

Such is your modesty
