Hearts

HEARTS Somewhere back in time it started, The beating of two lonely hearted, Synchronized by times now charted, And there they stood together. * On a grassy, sunlit hill Those two hearts made their appeal For one another's love so real, While not a sound was uttered. * One heart looked in the others eyes And saw love there to no surprise. Then at once, both realized Their love for one another. * Innocent, and not really knowing, Those two hearts their love bestowing Their love to one another showing As the world and time went by. * It isn’t really fair they say, For hearts to be in love this way, Keeping their secrets locked away, But there they stood together. * For what did those two sad hearts seek When together they did meet? Was it for love to be complete, Which they could find in no other? * Was it truly in the stars That those two hearts with all their scars Would find love where morality bars Their loving one another? * Now this grassy sunlit hill Where two hearts made their appeal, Is standing desolate, parched, and still And not a sound is uttered.
