Farewell Beloved

Gone are the days of our sweet love,
No more the promises remain,
The promises of staying together
Have now been washed away by rain-
A rain of misunderstandings as I understand.

We held each other's hands dear love,
But no more the kisses remain,
The sensuous kisses that bound us
Have now become a source of pain-
A pain of happy yesterdays and a sad today.

Those days are gone and now my love,
No more my love do you remain,
So farewell for now and forever
Never again shall we be insane-
Insane in love,in deep,chaste,hapless love.

Longing

I look into your smiling face
And feel the joy you feel inside,
I love to see your love lorn eyes,
It is where I always reside.

My heart,oh,feels so heavenly
Just to think of your beauteous grace,
My mind goes crazy like never before,
I long to see,forever,your face.

Oh,the desire of my soul doth cry
Out to you for some togetherness,
Love is all I need from you,
Love you shall receive no less.

Someone Cares

Someone in this world loves you much
But you know not its intensity,
Somewhere there is a caring heart
But yours for it has little pity.

Through darkness and light he was there
For you to be always bright,
Through sorrow and joy that you have felt
He's been there in your fight.

A day shall come when you shall feel
That it was he who was always there,
The day maybe a day too late
'Cause he may then be in another sphere.

When he'll be gone far from you
And relieve you of his caring watch,
It will be then when you shall miss
His loving heart,his caring touch.

A Seat Of Honour, Or Is It So?

I sit upon the seat of honour 

and look upon the sights ahead, 

Who are these that I behold? 

Who are these this path to tread? 

'O beauteous face! O fair skin! 

Who art thou? Thou make me insane! 

Thou art a heavenly form. 

'Oh no! The sight now does wane! 

Why does she go away so soon? 

I know not why but I can tell 

She had the eyes of a dove, 

and like a goddess who fell. 

But as I sit upon my seat 

comes along another as I behold, 

Her silken flanks do make me stare, 

I feel so numb, my palms are cold. 

'O sweet goddess! Who art thou? 

Thy name I know not, so I say 

That please fair maiden, do speak. 

'Oh she smiles, but she goes away! 

I care not for this world anymore,

I have to go, so I have to go, 

I leave my seat for someone else 

to sit here and feel the woe!

To My Love

I have got all the time that ever was,

I have good feelings all throughout,
I forget all the sorrow that have pained
When you are by my side.

I feel the joy that never I have,
I sing songs with a voice so bright,
I look at you all the while
When you are by my side.

No matter what the world tells me
Or the times bring to me later,
I shall never wish for anything except
That you stay by my side,forever.
