MESMERISING CHARMS

 

Mesmerising charms

Led me to her arms

A loving place

So why should I run?

 

Love in my heart

I want to share

But I hold back

And I want to run

 

Fear is the key,

A deep fear in me

Of being hurt

So I want to run

 

I need the key

To unlock the chains

That bind my heart

So I won’t run

THE LAST LONG HOUR OF AUTUMN

 

It was late autumn,

The season was dying

When she sat at his bedside

Holding his hand

And quietly crying

As she spent that long last hour

Saying her final goodbye

WE SAT COOLLY IN THE SHADE

 

We sat coolly in the shade

Of a maple tree

enjoying our picnic

And freshly brewed tea

Days of innocence

When our spirits were free

And I proposed and then

You and I became we

WE WALKED ALONG THE SHORE

 

We walked along the shore

As the sunset was at its death

As the breeze caressed your hair

And I was jealous of its breath

ACROSS THE LONELY VOID

Hands reach out

Across the lonely void

Groping in the darkness

Reaching for love,

Blindly searching

For a kindred spirit

A lottery of chance

Without an angel’s

Tender guidance

JEZEBEL STRUCK

 

Jezebel struck

At the heart of their love

With eagles talons

To tear at their bond

But such was their love

Her intrusion failed

As his breast was

Armoured like a knight

And she slinked away

SHE GAVE ME A PRECIOUS THING

 

She gave me her heart

A precious thing

She said belonged to me

It was beyond priceless

I should have treasured it

Guarded it with my life

But I was a complacent fool

And she took it back

It will never again be mine

And I have shed

A thousand lonely tears

As for her heart I pine
