HOW COULD SHE BE REAL?

 

Is she not a mirage?

Born in my arid heart

To confuse my senses

Conjured from my dreams

To give false hope

This wild imagining

Is so cruelly meant

For someone so unworthy

How could she be real?

I FINALLY FOUND THE ONE

 

I finally found the one

The one for whom I’d yearned

And everything was going well

Until my fortunes turned

When the joy became sorrow

And I suddenly got burned

A LOVE SO STRONG

 

A love so strong

With depth and tone

Shared by two souls,

Kindred spirits of the heart

Enough love to last

Three lifetimes

So why would such a love,

Such loving feelings,

Not only fade,

But turn to retched hate

YOU WERE MY ONE AND ONLY # 2

 

You were my one and only

You were the sun in my sky

Now light has been banished

And I must in the darkness cry

RED SUNSET

 

The red sunset is for lovers

Who sigh with lovesick bliss

And in the glow of a blood red sky

The lovers stand and kiss

YOUR EMBRACE IS LIKE A VELVET CLOAK

 

Your embrace is like a velvet cloak

Enveloping me in love

As you speak to my soul

And burn into my heart a perfect love

A KEEP-SAKE

 

A keep-sake

That speaks of love

A handkerchief

Bearing a lipstick kiss

A rose dried and pressed

Within a weighty tome

A missive couched

In terms of love

Or a photograph

Kept beside your heart
