There’s a song (only one)
That keeps the memory alive
That keeps two hearts connected
Though time has forgotten
Love always remembers
The song that keeps love alive
When hopes and dreams have died
A song for its time
Bonded two lives together
Time has etched its melody in the heart
Though love may never meet again
And life unfolds in different directions
The melody plays out until it’s no longer heard
Two lives met
One simple regret
“And I still can hear( it) through my tears”
It plays within me yet♥

“Heard melodies are sweet,
But those unheard are sweeter”
John Keats
(1797-1821)

Hopeless is love
When the future is dark
Young turns to old
When thoughts have flown

Stillness is forever
The past crouches…
Mine becomes never
A useless endeavor

The fool remains silent
Lets the darkness define
Never letting in the light
Into the dark corners of the mind

One plus one
Equals none
Having it all
Is never the call

If you let it begin
Light creeps in
Waiting its turn
Once you learn
To control the darkness

A Dream
“In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of love departed.
But a waking dreams of love and light
has left me broken hearted.”
Poe

From the start
I battled your heart
You walked down the aisle
With such dignity and style
You stood tall
Through it all

You were my guide
You’d provide
All the while
With a gentle smile

Through the years
Filled with happiness and tears
My life was better
When we were together

Now that you have fallen asleep
My memories run deep
My love never wavered
Your love I favored

But you never knew
that I knew
Right from the start
I would always take second place
In your heart♥

The seasons slip away
With so much to say
We talk with words
Never heard
We meet
But nothing is ever complete
We look but never see
Behind the meaning to be
With pride as our guide
We shut our eyes
and gently slip aside
Until the time has died

After the hymns have been sung
After the closing bell has been wrong
After everything has been said
While you gaze as I lie
Will you kiss me good-bye?♥

A song of love
Written for two
Composed by the heart
Its lyrics forever true

You were my song
You were my lyrics
You were my melody
We walked in harmony

Like no other
A lover’s refrain
Time moves on
Nothing remains

A life in duet
I shall never forget
As closing descends
Everything ends
On a voice
I shall never hear again

With yesterday’s song
Is where I belong
But yesterday’s gone
And all I have left
Is a song♥

“The sweetest songs  are those
That tell of  saddest thoughts”
Percy Shelly
(1792-1822)

Yesterday’s romance
Today’s heartache
Yesterday’s love
Today’s mistake

Yesterday’s laughter
Today’s tears
Yesterday’s promises
Today’s prayers

Yesterday’s kisses
Today’s lips
Yesterday’s photos
Today’s clips

Yesterday’s dreams
Today’s reveries
Yesterday’s aspirations
Today’s memories

Yesterday’s bouquet
Today’s flowers
Yesterday’s sunshine
Today’s showers

Yesterday’s attachment
Today’s separation
Yesterday’s affection
Today’s reflection

Yesterday’s joy
Today’s sorrow
Yesterday’s hope
Today’s tomorrow

First love never comes twice I fear
It happens only once in a  lifetime
A love that melts a heart when it appears
Beautiful and romantic as a poet’s rhyme

First love never comes twice I know
When two souls bound together as one
When two hearts beat in rhythm in solo
With passions forever growing undone

First love never comes twice they say
A dream awaken,  a dream fulfilled,  a soul mate
You lie alone in the dark and pray
That these feelings would never go away

First love never comes twice I found
A heart that jumps when your lover comes around
Only joy and happiness for each other in mind
Two souls entwine,  a providential design

First love never comes twice
So young lovers take my advise
Hold tightly to each other and never let go
If you do, young love will forever grow
If you don’t, your first love will forever haunt you so♥

Each move I make
Each breath I take
She’ s there

When I’m asleep
In slumber deep
She’s there

Every dream I dream
It always seems
She’s there

When I awake
When the daybreaks
She’s there

When the day is long
And things go wrong
She’s there

When the night appears
With its daunting fears
She’s there

When I lie in bed
And rest my head
She’s there

*When I need someone to care
She’s always there

                                                                       * A musical  turn around

Just a dream
Just a dream
Just a chance
Just a chance
Maybe she
Exchanges a glance

Just a moment
Just a moment
Just a try
just a try
Maybe she
Will catch  my eye

Just a look
Just a look
Just a start
Just a start
Maybe she
Will offer her heart

So Let love unfurl
For after all
I’m just a boy
Looking for a girl
to love
*****************
“Don’t forget I’m just a girl
Standing in front of a boy
Asking him to love me”
Julia Roberts ‘Notting Hill”

Lover
Can we start over again?
Go back to remember when
You were in love
I was your all
With you on my arm
I was ten feet tall
We played love’s games
Like young lovers do
Looking to discover
How to kindle the flames

Beloved
It’s been too many years
Too many tears
We’ve passed the age
I have never forgotten
But life has changed me
In so many ways
Can we ever rekindle
And bring back those days?

Lover
We need to collect those years in between
And cherish those moments we have seen
We need to store them in our hearts
There to remain as we make a new start
Two separate lives together again
Eye to eye
Sigh to sigh
Thigh to thigh
Never to wonder why
A kiss on the lips
Will gently awaken
The love that was hidden
Ours for the taken♥
