Heart Swore An Oath, Never, Never Again
Heart Swore An Oath, Never, Never Again
When the joy overcame the epic pain
Heart swore an oath - never, never again
Letting life and love's great loss break this heart
Torn asunder, lost and ripped apart
Where love only exists as in a dream
A tragedy, drinking from a dry stream.
To see her eyes that inspired our lives
She with heart's true beauty that yet survives
Hear her sweet voice say, "good morning my dear "
Wake to morning sun's golden rays of cheer
Alas! Such paradise has now been lost
To regain it, I would pay any costs!
When the joy overcame the epic pain
Heart swore an oath - never, never again.

Life, Contrasting Views
doe and fawn grazing
radiant sun beaming down
night cries, city born

Remembered Times
home and winter's hearth
chilling winds whispering deep
white sands, vacation
