She never said it only the look in her eyes
Told the story of the love she so idolized
It never mattered to her at all
Whether I was rich or poor short or tall
Nothing really mattered but the gleam
In her eyes every time she saw me pass by
The passion and longing she kept inside
Never revealing her true desires
But
Our two worlds would never coincide
For fate is sometimes funny that way
For heroes come and go in a young girl’s heart
But that’s what makes a girl a woman
And that’s how a man tells them apart

Life would be enchanting
If I could wave my magic wand
One wave one magical word
All of  life’s troubles would be gone

If only I could pull the string that
Lights up the sky
I’d stretch my arms to
The heavens above to
Catch you dancing by

If I could have Alladin’s lamp
For just one day
And granted three wishes
I know what I would say
All three wishes would be identical
Every word the same
Each wish beginning and ending with your name

And when I wish on that wishing star
Somewhere in the blue
The wish I wished for
Would always be you

If I could wave my magic wand
And turn the world up-side down
Nothing would be the same as it seems
I would say those magic words
And you would step out of my dreams♥

A children’s book
A children’s fantasy
For that’s all it took
To awaken a child’s imagery

Turn the pages now tainted in yellow
Yesterday’s dreams slowly starting to mellow
Life was all to simple then
Losing oneself in a world of pretend

 Years take away those childish ways
Leaving one to ponder the worries of the day
With only fate leading one as it may
Leaving no time for childish play

Although those days are gone
The fantasy still lives on
Fresh anew in your  eyes of blue
For you have awaken the child within me
Those feelings I never outgrew
And it was you and you alone
Who has made my fairy tale come true♥
==========================================
“Some day you will be old enough
to start reading  fairy tales again.”
C.S. Lewis

No phrases
No verses
No repetitions
No words to explain
What comes between
The love and the dreams
The dreams and the love
Just a silent interlude♥

Love is never eternal
Love is never forever
Only forever mortal
Meant for only each day
No matter what the poets say

Days slip into years
The years unwind
Too many find themselves
Leaving love behind

The tick tock of the clock
Can’t stop the sand from
Slipping through our hands
Soon it will be spent
And we’ll find ourselves
Running out of life

“No love can be endless
Because no life is endless”
Mehmet Murat ildon

The years never exposed
A secret concealed
Affections hidden
A love forbidden
You didn’t know
You never knew
I never minded
Living in your shadow♥

What do I see?

When I look into your eyes
I see your soul
When I look at your lips
I see love unfold
When a broken heart appears
I see your tears
When I look at your hair
I see little curls
When I look at your face
I see a little girl
When I look at what you’ve become
I see a woman♥

The darkness of the night
Covers the blue of the day
When love becomes
A tragic play

The flower that lives today
Is gone tomorrow
Happiness returns to sorrow
Love is permanent
Or only borrowed

The sweetness of the music
Has now been stilled
The song of love once so vibrant
Has died
Bringing with it a deep reminder of
Life’s reality
That
For every “A” side
There is a “B” side

I never recognized the costume
I never saw the mask
A clever disguise
Hidden from sight
Blinded my eyes

A false showing
A false pretense
A party
A charade
Never thinking I was part of
The masquerade

Love is like a circus
As high as a wire
As sweet as cotton candy
As innocent as a child
As moving as a parade
A carnival of romance
Until the final act ends
The performance

When the masquerade crumbled down
I became the biggest clown of all

I’m back where I started
Alone with my thoughts
How can it be
That love runs so deep?
So deeply hidden inside
Where only love can abide
Love takes control and won’t let go
You don’t ask for it
You can’t stop it
It captures your  being as history has shown
It tears at the heart
It bites to the bone
It’s impossible to touch it
You can’t capture its essence
Sometimes its fleeting a wink of an eye
Sometimes it lingers leaving only a why
It causes hurt
It causes pain
Poets write of it
Love songs tell of it
Imaginations hold on to it
Embedded in the soul
A lover’s refrain
When it arrives no longer hidden
A love locked inside no longer forbidden
It reaches the heart carefully seeding
Watered with tears its growth exceeding
It blossoms
It flowers
It explodes into view
It shouts from the mountain tops
It echoes cross the valleys
One it arrives it never stops
Leaping!
Rushing!
Sudden sallies!
Words can never describe it
Do not attempt to try
For life is empty without it
Yet, no one can tell you why♥

Love must,
Say least”
