Vanishing Song

she lay in the vanishing sunlight vulnerable and beautiful she was as lovely as dreams she gave herself to me with her heart full of desire's dark romance with her heart full of the magic of love's tenderness it was then i knew at long last what it was to be loved she played a fragment of her song its beauty like a setting sun on a deep blue sea and then i knew what it was like to breath once more like i never knew what it meant to be alive until her song played until all my sorrows had vanished in her arms so she played her song for me all night it was sweet as a tropical night wind full of promise and beauty like this daydream of her soft hand in mine warms my heart till her song vanishes
