BLEEDING HEART

 

Her heart aches

With the pain of a faded love

Teardrops stain her cheeks

But cannot salve her sorrow

While his heart is elsewhere

Hers dies in her breast

AFFAIR OF THE HEART

 

Her heart once full of love

Now harbours only sorrow

The love once ablaze

Is just a guttering candle

Her heart was won

With a poets words

And flowers of romance

Fragrant and sweet scented

The words are but hollow echoes

And the vibrant flowers

Are withered and odourless

Now as the tears come

Her only memories are

Of false promises

And deceitful words

MY HISTORY IS ONE OF SADNESS

 

My history is one of sadness

Lonely and loveless

No memories of joy to comfort

Only the emptiness

Of a life spent alone

Like Robinson Crusoe

On his desert island

I sit surround by the ocean

Inhospitable and deep

In my life the ocean is the world

The blue water

Its inhabitants

Washing up to my shore

But always washing away again

Tantalising and teasing

But I cannot embrace the waves

I must remain alone

On my desert island

Looking out to sea

ABOVE A MOONLIT MEADOW

 

Above a moonlit meadow

The stars begin to shine

As I plight my troth in earnest

And hope to make you mine

I BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

 

I believe in love at first sight

That precious moment

When two people meet their match

Like a key and a lock

Coming together in synchronicity

And the abiding love

Both deep and passionate

That can be unlocked

A PERFECT DAY

 

A perfect day

Spent with you

The two of us

That’s my view

No one else

Just us two

A perfect day

Spent with you

RHYTHMIC LIFE

 

I have a life with rhythm

And clarity of purpose

That defines me perfectly

And that clear rhymic life

Is your great gift to me

A gift given before God

When we joined in matrimony

The depth of our union

And the depth of our love

Will not easily be bested
