Note:*She cried as she walked away

her heart had nothing to say

this lost soul, refused to cry

this broken heart wondered why

but life giveth, taketh away

deep heartache is oft the way

her soft, sexy beauty I recall

twas true, before I lost it all*

Baby Hold Onto Me, Our Love Is Not a Game

Baby Hold Onto Me, Our Love Is Not A Game

Come with me, I'll teach you to kiss the sky
Run with me, I'll lead but don't ask me why
Dance with me, this crying heart begs you to
Stay with me, be it all night, or day maybe two
I am red-hot burning, my engine is aflame
Baby hold onto me, our love is not a game.

Baby wake with me, to dawn's shining call 
No fake in me, baby you see it all
Sing loud with me, let life fly us aloft
Stand so proud with me, kissing me ever so soft
Make vows with me, your all that I truly adore
Lay now with me, upon paradise golden shores.

Come with me, I'll teach you to kiss the sky
Run with me, I'll lead but don't ask me why
Dance with me, this crying heart begs you to
Stay with me, be it all night, or day maybe two
I am red-hot burning, my engine is aflame
Baby hold onto me, our love is not a game.

My dear friend, your beautiful poem is a lovely love song that enchants and enraptures me with its rhythmic allure of love’s desires. A superb gem written with an eager, open and romantic heart, your poetic soul shines in this piece of the youthful abandon of first love. Warmest wishes always my wonderful friend.. ~Susan

Susan my dear friend, thank you for such a wonderful comment and I am very pleased that this much older piece has found such favor with you. I was 20 years and two months old back when I wrote this one. God bless you my dear friend.

This very early piece is quite different from your usual dark epic drama, but it's just as good. Not just a poet, but a rock star too. Nice one, Robert.

Lawrence my dear friend , thank you for such an uplifting reply. Yes, seems I oft put more into my dark drama's. And that is because many come from inspiration born from past personal experience.

Thank you my dear friend. I was very idealistic that early in my youth. Life had yet to beat me so unmercifully as later did occur. And looking back- I see much of that was due to mistakes I made myself. Live and learn..

I could imagine hearing a familiar famous person singing your lyrics when I read this lovely song you have written Robert. I hope all is well and that you enjoy Thanksgiving my friend. I loved your beautiful song. Blessings, Connie : ) xxoo

Connie, thank you my dear friend. Family and I had a truly blessed Thanksgiving together. And this had no a single episode of disagreement. Of course , perhaps that is because 3 other brothers and 2 sisters where absent, leaving just we 5 and our families gathered there at big sis house. lol

Thank you my dear friend. I recall that being a time before my first big love loss and I had yet to know life's many great defeats. Or sorrows that oft rise* Blows coming by surprise* Swift the arrows strike deep* How hard joy is to keep* How fragile love can be* Or dark deceit in she*
