Tears bejewelled her cheeks
Like
lustrous pearls
And her
heartfelt sobs shook
The Ribbons
from her curls
Those tears
and sobs you only hear
From broken
hearted girls
I couldn’t
ignore the anguished
Sound of her
cries
So I lifted
up her chin
And wiped
the tears from her eyes
Then I held
her in my arms
As her sobs
turned to sighs
And when I
looked at her
Tearstained
face I could see
A girl as
fragile as a butterfly
A thing of
infinite beauty
And when
she smiled
It was like
a sunset on the sea
Their meeting was
Serendipitous
When cupid’s
arrow struck
Nothing
planned
Simply a
case of luck
She ticked
all his boxes
In her
perfection
And in her
eyes
He was
flawless
In all
things
They were
Simpatico
And Romance
blossomed
Perfect
moonlight
Bathed them
Perfect
stars adorned the sky
And a
Perfect kiss
Sealed their
fate
I’ve sailed around the Cape of Good Hope
Where the two great oceans meet
I’ve sailed
from the stormy southern isles
In the
winter through the rain and sleet
I did all
this and more for a reason,
The moment when we would meet
A second kiss
More
eagerly awaited
Full of
conviction
Yet overconfident
Hearts race
unchecked
When over
eager lips
Engage,
like spaceships docking
And both
parties forget to breathe
I wish I’d known,
As the door
slammed shut
Behind you
That it
would be the last time
As I would
have said
I love you
Just to
remind you
I wish I’d
known
We would
never have
Another day
That it
would be the last time
So when you
tried to kiss me
I wouldn’t
have looked
The other
way
I wish I’d
known,
As I
watched you sleep
Peacefully
beside me
That it
would be the last time
So I could
have told you
Of the life
Growing
inside me
I’ve seen the distant far pavilions
And the
land of the rising sun
I’ve seen Tierra
del Fuego
And where
all life was begun
I’ve seen
the Pyramids of Giza
But now my
travels are done
I’ve found
what I’ve sought
And you my
love are the one
She knows no other company
Than her
own,
Her only
friends
Are heroes
and heroines
Of the
classic tales
Or message
boards
And chat
rooms
She never
sleeps
And spends
her time
Dancing to
the old tunes
And weeping
over lost love
