In My Heart - In Honour of Lu Loo
Listen to my "December lullaby"
"Oh, whispering willow"
With love for sister, "salt poured from my eyes"
For "I miss my yellow"
"She waves her wings", sighs "when the sad wind blows"
Her "medallion moments"
"My ethereal seraph" hardly knows
Her unique endowments
"Even without ink", "indigo silence"
Marked her "haven of hope"
"The beautiful dolphin" had no guidance
"Black dove", she could not cope
"Crimson fire" lost in "embers and snowflakes"
"Half of my heart" is gone
"Ebony reflections" are her heartaches
In an "opaque grey" dawn
"With bated breath", she bid "Summer goodbyes"
"White lilies for you", sis
"I'll keep your heart warm" every new sunrise
My dear you, how I miss!
"Blue was the colour of her dress" the day
"The tender lost doe" died
"My porch, an empty canvas" to portray
"The sadness of a child"
"Some other day, some other time", we'll meet
In "vast lavender fields"
On paths "better than gold" we'll share a treat
From death's dark past, He shields
"Those woods along the shore" have their bottom
"Deep in the horizon"
"An aria of alluring autumn"
"Scented leaves", the siren
"Stuck in a snow globe with you", I'm happy
"Can I be the one", dear?
"Shining in poetry's light", you're snappy
But you're safe, have no fear
"Our dalliance has ended" now, so soon
I feel like those crazies
"For You are my great escape" 'neath the moon
"Butterflies and daisies"
I look for "footprints that will never show"
Memories make me cry
I place a "withering white rose" in snow
In my heart, you won't die.
