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
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
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
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
The
stars begin to shine
As
I plight my troth in earnest
And
hope to make you mine
