FLEET YOUNG FOOTSTEPS

 

Fleet young footsteps

In a headlong rush

Running towards romance

Barefoot in the meadow grass

Love-struck on a woodland path

Sprinting along the beach

Splashing through the water’s edge

And into the arms of love

BENEATH THE STAR FILLED SKY

 

Beneath the star filled sky

Moonlight bathed the sand

As we danced barefoot

Around the campfire

With sand between our toes

And romance in our hearts

IT WAS MORE THAN THAT

It wasn’t the sugar sweet

Words of love

From your mouth

That made me love you

It was more than that

 

It wasn’t the honey coated

Sensual kisses

From your sultry lips

That kept me loving you

It was more than that

 

It wasn’t the wonderful

Toe curling joy of sex

That cemented

My endless love for you

It was more than that

 

It was then and is now

The essence that is you

Shining from within

That won my heart 

YOU TOOK ME BY STORM

 

You took me by storm

Broke my resistance

Conquered my heart

Quite mercilessly

But on the way

To capturing my heart

You tainted me

MY LONELY HEART

 

My Lonely heart

My silent companion

You empathize

And feel compassion

Even in an age when

It’s out of fashion

Yet still I am alone

With my unspent passion

MIRROR IMAGE

 

I thought that you

Really loved me

But I was wrong

And in reality

It was just my love

Reflecting back on me

RED SAILS IN THE SUNSET

The Platter’s were crooning

“Red Sails in the sunset”

So I asked her to dance

And the moment our eyes met

My heart sailed away

And it hasn’t returned yet
