Long ago I died I wished only To suckle from your breast I dreamed only to hold you As you would embrace me to rest I dreamed that love Would set us both free You denied me the fairy tale You robbed your own broken heart Now, we are both the poorer The mourning makes us both the sorer The canary sings when the new morning rings The sun rises, and a young lovers smile rises You are there I am here The road of one, still has room Wonder when the cloud will lift the gloom I have died long ago No need to breathe on dead old leaves If only the scar on the heart Would open up Only then could the rainbows sing Letting the sunshine in The blood would tumble and flood the floor Flowing right out that heartless door There I would be in soldier grey Ready for the battle to make love stay Into my arms, you would faint I would stare and unspoken I would paint The first small kiss you would awake Open the book, so that verses we could make

Thanks my friend -I find it far more diplomatic to drop a quick soup mail than to humiliate a person just to make yourslef look big and clever :-( hugs Jan xx
