Tales of Love # 13

DISTANT SUMMER

I look back fondly
Across the years
On that brief affair
So glorious, yet
All too brief
Like a perfect summer
That left its mark
Forever on my heart

RESOLUTE AND STRONG

My love for her
Is resolutely strong
She lifts my heart
Like the sweet song
Of woodland birds
In chorused throng

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (7)

I will sail Around the Cape of Good Hope
where the two great oceans meet
I will follow you to the ends of the earth
Because you’re the only one for me

SHE WAS SO ELEGANT

She was so elegant
And light of step
As if on Angels wings
She was swept
From heavens high
Into my arms
To bless my life
With her charms

MY WIFE IS VERY HOUSE PROUD

My wife is very house proud
A domestic goddess n'est-ce elle pas
She make a Dyson look obsolete
And her food wins a Michelin star
She washes and iron like a Trojan
And keeps the garden tidy and neat
But all this counts for nothing
As I love her because she so sweet

HER BEAUTY WAS LIKE THE SPRING

Her beauty was like the Spring
A smile as warm as Summer sun
Tempestuous like an Autumn gale
And as refreshing as a Winters day

THEIR BODIES LAY ENTWINED

Their bodies lay entwined
As they had so many times before
It was in this final lingering embrace
That she slowly slipped away

LIVE A VERY GOOD LIFE

Live a very good life
Live it honourably and true
And live it to the full
Then I will promise you
That when you look back
As your days begin to wane
And you look back, you’ll
Get to enjoy it all over again

SHE HAS GONE NOW

She has gone now
And has left a hole
Where my heart
Once resided
But her spirit
Is always with me
And hangs in the air
Like a breath of spring

SHE WAS MY COMPASS

She was my compass
And my anchor
She steered me
And held me
She gave me direction
And stability
Without her I am
Lost at sea
And rudderless

I WILL LIFT YOU UP

I will lift you up
On the days
When you are blue
I will reach up
And touch a rainbow
And capture it for you

I WOULD LIKE TO FIND A MOUNTAIN

I would like to find a mountain
Where I can be alone
A place of peace and serenity
A truly tranquil zone
And I will sit and wonder why
You left me on my own

HOW I WAS FOOLED BY YOUR DISGUISE

How I was fooled by your disguise
When at the very start
You had summer in your eyes
But you had winter in your heart

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (8)

From Tierra del Fuegos archipelago
To the land of the rising sun
I will follow you to the ends of the earth
Because for me you’re the only one

GATHER IN THE WOODLAND LILIES

Gather in the woodland lilies
Kissed with natures gentle dew
Lay them on the polished oak
And bid your love a fond adieu

SOFT KISSES, PLANTED

Soft kisses, planted
Like whispers
On expectant lips
Then a smile of coyness
And a blush
The hue of Rose Hips

SHE READ A POEM

She read a poem
Out loud to me
On a quiet afternoon
That touched me,
Awakened me,
Stirred my soul
And my dulled senses
As she read
It flowed over me
Like scented honey
Each word a caress
Each syllable a kiss
A soothing balm
Of evocative beauty
Whose feeling,
In metrical form
Left me unshackled
Releasing me, from
My contented taupe
Free to soar
On poetic wings

THE WORDS FLOWED

The words flowed
like spring melt
Rushing to fill
Every stream of reason
Every rivulet of love
With bitter bile

MY SWEET WORDS OF LOVE

My sweet words of love
Were wasted on her it appears
Because all I got in return
Was the bitter sting of tears
