ONCE INSIDE MY HEART

 

Once inside my heart

You’ll find it bleak and stark

For love has been defeated

And sits lonely in the dark

No colours exist here

Only shades of grey

But if you can endure

You could show me the way

And lead me from the dark

And back into the day

ETERNAL LOVE?

 

Eternal love?

Love that lasts

Forever more

Not this side

Of heavens door

That was my opinion

Well heretofore

Then I met you

And now I’m not so sure

CONDITIONAL LOVE

 

You must be devoted,

Kind and true

Willing to give of yourself

If all this you can do

Then without reservation

I will love you

ACCEPT ME PLEASE

 

Accept me please

Accept all of me

Every flaw and blemish

Every quirk and foible

For if love is as you say

Truly unconditional

You should accept me as I am

MY LIFE RUNS FAST AWAY

 

My life runs fast away

Like sand in an hourglass,

And with each grain of sand

Goes a moment in of my lifetime

Each moment is an empty one

Not spent with you

The moments are fast running out

As the grains of sand move on

And still I wait to meet you

LOVE THRILLS

 

Hedonistic thrill seekers

Adrenalin junkies

One and all

Cannot surpass the thrill

You get from love

When you completely fall

 

And for pure danger

Nothing is more injurious

More painful to befit

Than when you’ve succumbed

And you are in love

And you then fall out of it

MY HEART IS SO FULL OF LOVE

 

My heart is so full of love

Yet my words alone can't say,

They simply fail to express

What I wish to convey

 

I am just like an infant

Mumbling the snips and bytes

Of unformed language

To incoherently recite

 

I am like a foreign visitor

Trying to translate into English

Trying to formulate phrases

Instead translating into gibberish

 

My heart is so full of love

So why can I not just say

That I love you darling

Why is it so hard to convey
