You bring me rainbows
Of an April morning
You bring me the
laughter
Of a hundred happy
children
You bring me the azure
blue
Of a summer sky
You bring me the
scented meadows
Of a summer day
You bring me the
moonlight
Of a star bright night
You bring me the
wonders
Of the modern age
But most of all you
bring me
A love that I have
never known
Finally, I found someone to love
Someone caring and
nice
Someone who loves me
But it was over in a
trice
For I was complacent
And so paid the
ultimate price
Sending signals
And reading
The replies
A look or gesture
That holds a message
To be relayed
Is as ancient
As hieroglyphs
And as difficult
To translate
The words flowed
like spring melt
Rushing to fill
Every stream of reason
Every rivulet of love
With bitter bile
I fell for you
Like a stone
And I am in heaven
I’m walking on air
As I imagine
Your arms around me
And if you fall for me
You’ll leave me
breathless
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
My sweet words of love
Were wasted on her it
appears
Because all I got in
return
Was the bitter sting
of tears
