YOU VIEW LOVE AS A SNARE

 

You view love as a snare

Of ordinary everyday life

And won’t be trapped into

The ritual taking of a wife

But who will support and

Comfort in times of strife

If you don’t open your heart

To the simple joys of life

TOUCHED BY THE GODDESS

 

Touched by the goddess

Our hearts surrendered

As Venus worked her spell of love

And nothing could break the bond

That fitted us perfectly

Like a hand inside a glove

So strong were the bonds

That entwined our hearts

And held us prisoners of love

Only death could part us

And I am now haunted

By the call of the mourning Dove

WE WERE ONCE INSEPARABLE # 2

 

We were once inseparable

Tied with the bonds of love

But when the day came 

When bonds become restraints

Love melted into the ether

And the ties that bound

Turned inexorably to dust

I LOVED HER SO MUCH

I loved her so much

I forgot about me

I surrendered myself

I just thought about we

 

I loved her so much

I always thought about us

But behind my back

She abused my trust.

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

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
