Lover's Lament

The skies are blue, as is my heart The time is gone I want it to start The tears do fall and await your chest You know your heart is in my breast The days do tell of my love for thee Now you are gone do not forsake me Emotions mixed twixt longing and pain I can’t’ wait to be in your arms again. Sounds so crazy but I’m the same Longing for you is my middle name My heart is weak but love is strong How on earth could this be so wrong You are there and far away I am here Oh yes your loveliness I still fear There is much of you they desire Yet it is the flame you lit that is my fire. © Harry J Horsman and Mandy M Tams collab 2015

I am jealous of your collaboration. I wish someone wanted to collaborate with me. How did you do this. Line after line? How?

longest time friend. You've just exhibited to the highest quality exactly what I have missed in here for months. Your lines are so exciting and your words are each having that second hand of drawing me back to them again and again and again irrespective of how many times I have gone through them. Its nice to be home and you are part of the reason I have this refreshing feeling. A definite 7. Cheers!

A lovely collab, Harry and Mandy, you were both on song for this one. Well done. By the way Harry, regarding your prediction on my poem 'Love in a far off place', can you possibly now give me the names of the winning horses in the Goodwood festival that starts today? Regards, Viv

I agree with Olive that middle line is so poignant - the imagery is so so powerful - I am sure many can relate to it - an outstanding collaboration Mandy and Harry :-) hugs Jan xx 7 xx
