Loneliness Follows

She entered the room like an angle from Heaven
Her beauty and aura mirrored a goddess impression
My soul was eclipsed, my heart was divided
Intentions unclear, but thoroughly invited

Trapped by her spell, my passion provoked
Feelings of love remained cleverly cloaked
Our eyes joined like pieces of a magical puzzle
An eternal stare even time couldn’t muzzle

Anxiously intrigued, I gathered my thoughts
What would I say? My stomach in knots
Her warm glowing smile had found its way in 
Easing my tension, I gave her a grin

Alone in the darkness, we meet with a kiss
Pleasure unbound in a web of sweet bliss
Lips soft like roses, wild and pure
Gathered from gardens of mystical lure

To venture further, you must pass a test
Are your intentions to play like the rest?
Holding her closely, I pondered this label
If love was a game, my cards on your table

She playfully teased as we made our escape
Her hair woven silk in amber wine grape
Our bodies embraced drenched under midsummer skies
Love's symphony played as stars danced in her eyes

The moon went to rest and the sun had awaken
I borrowed the time of a love that was taken
Was I playing the fool? Is it all an illusion?
Bad timing had caused this painful conclusion

She gazed at me softly, her eyes full of tears
You stole my heart, but he has my years
I cant watch him suffer, I feel so much guilt
Please understand, its not how I'm built

I'm sorry my love, but I just cannot stay
I'll dream of you often, and wait for the day
If not in this lifetime, then surely you'll see
Fate sealed my heart closed, only you have the key
