The Eyes Have It

Take me away to a time   when our moon
hushed the sounds of the night   where lemongrass
eyes sent shivers inside and I   helplessly swooned 

Enter again where those warm cinnamon swirls 
yearned for romance   a hand to reach out
entwined with a beat  a vision so sweet
swayed  in each gentle breeze

How I would retreat  to simpler days
apricot wine   our world in your gaze
vibrant the look  my heart you had took
enjoying  the bluebird in May

I remember it well  as the memories do swell
time  why have you carried   her away
