Unkind Twist

In the twinkling of an eye
A smile it took my soul
The world just drifted by
As Cupid took control

Besotted by her spell
And held in constant bliss
Oh what story could I tell
That first and tender kiss

The Gods of love so kind
Lips with mine did bless
And paradise I did find 
In her holding tenderness

And so with love I danced
That warm and wistful day
My heart and soul romanced
Your scent my sense play

But love can be so unkind
So fickle with its charms
Can prick a tortured mind
As you lie another's arms

Hearts can be very fickle, Daniel. You are such a romantic man that I can't imagine someone leaving you to "lie in another's arms." Love, Carolyn
