WHAT MY HEART YEARNS FOR MOST

 

What my heart yearns for most,

The thing that I really miss,

What keeps my passion burning

Is the thought of your sensual kiss

I COULDN’T HOLD YOU IN MY COASTAL WATERS

 

I couldn’t hold you in my Coastal waters

When the Ocean tugged at your heart

So you slipped your moorings

And floated away into the dark

 

To deeper waters under moon-lit skies

That is where your heart resides

The sea is your only mistress

Your blood flows in unison with the tides

 

Happiness is a deck beneath your feet

In the teeth of a gale or the heart of a squall

While I wait for you on dry land

Praying for the day you make land fall

A SYLPH LIKE CREATURE

 

A sylph like creature,

A breath of wind might dispel

An elemental presence

Slight and graceful

Mercurial nymph

Spirit of nature

Beautiful young woman

A sylph like creature

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN HER MY WORLD

 

I would have given her my world

I would have made myself into a mug 

I would have done all this and more

Just to feel the warmth of a single hug

THEY WALKED HAND IN HAND

 

They walked hand in hand

Through tarragon fields

Where young lovers dream

And reticence yields

ALL FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE

 

He carried her books home from school

All for the sake of love

They kissed on the back row of the pictures

All for the sake of love

They walked down the aisle in June

All for the sake of love

they happily lived in a one bedroom flat

All for the sake of love

They worked hard and scrimped and saved

All for the sake of love

They became a family in a bigger home

All for the sake of love

She divorced him after five years of marriage

All for the sake of lust
