When You Were Mine

When you were mine the sky was deepest blue And sunsets had a more resplendent hue When you were mine the stars did scintillate The wind’s caress like yours would titillate When you were mine, the flowers were in bloom The sovereign sun left not a trace of gloom And mistress moon beguiled with moonlit beams Our passion bathed our soul in gushing streams When you were mine each night was magic filled Sweet love we’d make until our souls were thrilled Fulfillment brought with it our grateful tears A testament to love that cast out fears When you were mine, embodiment of love You were my hope of heaven up above I never knew such bliss could truly be But now I’m lost, for you are not with me Eileen Manassian Ghali
