Sweet Tunes of Lavender

Gren's Evergreens (Golden Oldies) # 2 Sponsor: Teppo Gren I chose song #2: Unchained Melody: Oh, my love My darling I've hungered for your touch A long lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love Godspeed your love to me Lonely mountain gaze, At the stars, at the stars Waiting for the dawn Of the day All alone I gaze At the stars, at the stars Dreaming of my love Far away Oh, my love My darling I've hungered for your touch A long lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love Godspeed your love to me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Poem: Sweet Tunes Of Lavender Sweet tunes of lavender, sacred euphony of scents, Desiring your embrace is the only thing that makes sense. My dear man, you have been sent if only for my wishes, I long to hear your voice, please don’t keep me in suspense. It’s been forever since we stood under the stars and danced, please promise to allow me to continue this true romance. You may seem far away but I can still hear it in the distance, your intimacy for me, please give me one more chance. Sweet tunes of lavender, smooth kisses while we sleep, My dear man I beg you, have I fallen in too deep? As slowly as time may run while I await your delicacy, please know I need you; without you I’m incomplete. It’s been forever since we laid in bed, loving for hours, I fancy your every move, let’s make this lifetime ours. I need you when far away I can’t stand missing you, I bring you a diamond ring with one yellow rose bud flower. Sweet tunes of Lavender, melodies ringing in my ear, I sing to you my last request if only you would hear. My dear man, I only ask for you to hurry, Godspeed, take my hand, feed my soul, and come to me with no fear. ***I know this is for a contest, but the poem I wrote is a personal one. It basically explains my relationship with my husband. I hurt him, and we worked it out and I asked him to marry me. Unchained Melody always reminded me if that time in my life. Lavender is one of our favorite scents.*** Date Written: April 23, 2016
