The Charming Bachelor

Look now here he comes
Taking a strole through the slumbs

He is alone in the garden of flowers
Using the moons enchanting powers

Ending all contact with most ladies
For his heart was broken in the cities

A girl who was to be his wife 
Cheated and caused all his strife

With a man of unknowing stature
Tall dark with eminent structure

Every night he excuses haunting dreams
Among the gardens beauty and light streams

He left the fiance' in his mansion
Coursing the man of her new passion

She tried furiously to find him after
But his note enclosed this dark chapter

The note brought her to tears
She couldn't find him for years.

But now her search has drawn her near
A beautiful seductress that is his fear

Her spell can no longer hinder my actions
Nothing further can sway my factions

this garden is my final just sanctuary
In hopes she fails and falls to the wary.

If I see her I will not speak
Just bow my head close my eyes and sleep

Closing my ears from her leathal rambles
Her emotions will end in infinite shambles

Her actions I will never forgive
I am ashamed for wanting to live

To feed her flame and her desire
I would go back and try to aspire

For this my heart tells me no more
Casting a shadow over feelings sore

Adjusting to life it seems
Conjuring old wants and dreams.
