I Know It Was Love
I know it was love
With all its attachments
I gave of myself
Freely
Willingly
Yes
I showed her wonders
I lifted the edge
Of the universe
And she peeked
I raised her up
Past my equal
Such as gentleman do
And yes
As best one could
With humble wages
I showed passion
More than a
Wink and a smile
After laughter
Roared
And eye’s clashed
Ah
The soft curve
Of love
Ever remembered
I was so proud
Of her
She shone
So bright
I was the taller man
Standing next to her
I couldn’t get enough
I would run home of work
Such Italian elegance
And finesse
To be found
Adelaide River
If I hadn’t met her
With my own being
It would have been a tale
To match Lassiter
God no
I have not need
To control
Her Beauty
And broken heart
Are her freedom
Unhealthy is
Unhealthy
What’s one to do?
Tis just a question
How much does one
Take?
Was blinded to start
The baggage
Circling in the shadows
Like mangy Dingoes just
Outside the fire light
In the end
I stayed Loyal
True and faithful
To myself
But nil the wiser
