Andrew Crisci Poet Lyric

How Long Ago, Sweet Lover

How long ago, sweet lover
we held hands and chased dreams
until they were lost in space like clouds?
How long ago, sweet lover...
we looked into each other's eyes
speaking tenderly under those falling leaves? 

Whenever moonlight appeared,
we looked above and smiled,
did the envious moon smile back?
No, her jealousy wouldn't break! 

How long ago, sweet lover
we felt the aroma of roses
on these cheeks and lips?
How long ago, sweet lover
we gave ourselves entirely
to passion without measure  
and couldn't stop the intensity
of kisses and their pleasure?   

All that mattered in that moment
was the happy feeling throbbing
faster than the warm heartbeat;
while pretty stars kept on shining!

How long ago, sweet lover...
we hugged with intense
emotions to increase 
the consuming passion
we burned for each other
with complete abandon?
