LILIES

Little things that made her laugh, ways that she came to me Lilies by her photograph, beauty beyond beauty Poems on her pillowcase, smiles to bring the dawn in Pain etched deep within her face, the sorrow, now I mourn Mercy for all living things, kindness to the needy Dahlias before diamond rings, blindness to the greedy Lazy walks down mazy lanes, all our leaves were falling Hazy thoughts, love-crazy brains, memories I recall That love, that love, stronger than the sun That love, that love, a love for only one, My love for you just goes on and on That love is still this love. Now my mind's in reverie, here comes our song again Fire in your eyes for me, feel the passion heal the pain Heart by heart, and soul by soul you took my rhythm from me It wasn't just my stride you stole you burned your loveprint on me. That love for me, stronger than the sun That love for me, love for only one My love for you just goes on and on That love will always be this love.

Many thanks, Anne Lise. All of my poems are songs and quite a few are on youtube. Those that are on youtube are identified at the bottom of the poem. This one is going on to youtube shortly I hope. Very kind of you to comment and much appreciated. Louis
