The Logic of Longing

Melt my tears into your sweet fire
as I have emotions for hire
It will always be my desire 
to love you as I never tire 

Only the rain can hide my tears
from loving you as I hold you dear
Please don’t ever be far from near
Your beauty is so mighty clear

Romance is how I write 
To please you in joyous delight
It’s easy for me as it takes no might
The words keep coming with no end in sight

I bite my tongue as I say I love you
For our magic has passed, it’s true 
But can I ever find the mystical glue
That spells out T, R, U, E… true

Dear Robert You are such a natural at rhyming, this is so soulfully moving and heart touching and poignant! I felt like. This was written from a deep place and I genuinely felt the sincerity of emotions within your lines! Sigh! So sad! I especially love the lines “ It will always be my desire to love you as I never tire ” how romantic! “ I bite my tongue as I say I love you” 😢 sad!
