Delicate Flame of Desire

My heart of stone, your love has broken For many years it has been spent and set It beats again with a voice now spoken For it desires the day, to you I jet My time stands still, never again This chance anew to relive my life No longer cast in discarded reft In saddened state, shredded strife After the rain, my life's like the sun Ray after day like the beats in my heart My love, my love, I'm one breath away Soon to be with you, my future's to start Never to look back at her strange behaviour I'm out of reach we are no longer in rhyme Your Spanish eyes have captured my heart Years of despair now's the right time I view my love, through my eyes I do see My delicate flame of desire, awaiting I Her radiant smile at the airport, we greet Behind me ashen greys, above now blue sky http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/lorena.php
