NO OTHER SOUL

 

No other soul

In the world,

Makes me

Feel so alive

As you

When your love

Touches my heart

SHE MEANT THE WORLD TO ME

 

She meant the world to me

But I set her free

Now I watch her passing by

And wonder how and why

I could have let her go

And the truth is, I don’t know

THE GENTLE HEART

 

The gentle heart, that

Once held love for me

Now holds only

An utter Contempt

For I lost my head

For a pretty face

So I lost her love

And now I’m lost

IF ONLY SHE WOULD TURN

 

If only she would turn

And smile at me,

Then in that moment

I would see

I would know

That she loves me

But she does not turn

She does not smile

So I languish in solitude

And hope that one day

She will turn

And smile at me

SHOW ME HOW TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE

 

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

ALL THE RICHES

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 

LOVELORN LANE

 

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
