Sweet Tunes of Lavender

Gren's Evergreens (Golden Oldies) # 2 
Sponsor: Teppo Gren

I chose song #2: Unchained Melody:

Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me

Lonely mountain gaze,
At the stars, at the stars
Waiting for the dawn
Of the day
All alone I gaze
At the stars, at the stars
Dreaming of my love
Far away

Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me

My Poem: Sweet Tunes Of Lavender


Sweet tunes of lavender, sacred euphony of scents,
Desiring your embrace is the only thing that makes sense.
My dear man, you have been sent if only for my wishes,
I long to hear your voice, please don’t keep me in suspense.

It’s been forever since we stood under the stars and danced,
please promise to allow me to continue this true romance.
You may seem far away but I can still hear it in the distance,
your intimacy for me, please give me one more chance.

Sweet tunes of lavender, smooth kisses while we sleep,
My dear man I beg you, have I fallen in too deep?
As slowly as time may run while I await your delicacy,
please know I need you; without you I’m incomplete.

It’s been forever since we laid in bed, loving for hours,
I fancy your every move, let’s make this lifetime ours.
I need you when far away I can’t stand missing you,
I bring you a diamond ring with one yellow rose bud flower.

Sweet tunes of Lavender, melodies ringing in my ear,
I sing to you my last request if only you would hear.
My dear man, I only ask for you to hurry, Godspeed,
take my hand, feed my soul, and come to me with no fear.



***I know this is for a contest, but the poem I wrote is a personal one. It basically explains my relationship with my husband. I hurt him, and we worked it out and I asked him to marry me. Unchained Melody always reminded me if that time in my life. Lavender is one of our favorite scents.***

How nice this is, one that has such personal meaning for you, Laura. I love that lavender has such special meaning for you and that it's a unique title for this beautiful poem which is so meaningful for you.
