My Song

How long will it take to write 
you a song

to give and to take ,to have and 
belong

It would take me  forever ,to  
find you in never

But i close my eyes, to sailing 
goodbyes

and dance once again ,in the 
summer of together

In a fountain of love ,we splash 
our feet

a cherry we share ,in vineyards 
we meet

I  walk to your heart,through all 
afternoon

You wait on the sand,beneath 
each blue moon

I play the last note,on the strings 
of  this soul

which i hold for my own in a 
letter.

Till autumn comes,and  flowers 
die

the wind stops its breeze ,on a 
hill's wooden chime

 till these fingertips ,won't find 
your lips

till white petals fall, without 
being kissed

Bonfire burns the last ink i 
penned

the  world comes too far, to 
reach for your hand

Till my simple song  leaps like a 
leaf

chasing a star in make 
believe

till the last flicker ,of a candle-
light

till this little voice fades in your 
night.

Very nice song. Does it have music to it? It seems like you write about music a lot so I am wondering if you are musical.
