It's the middle of the night
and the light of love shines so bright
the one I love in the middle of night
Haunts my heart with her in sight
Try to resist her, somehow I might
But of love and wanting of this I write
Love is not mercy, wrong or right
A hidden emotion I cannot fight
Can she answer desires delight?
For now she answers
what my soul requites
A beautifull sprit a wonderful sight
A body of which I'd hold with might
The forbidden fruit I'm willing to bite
For she is my Eve and she is my light
She's the meaning of the word inspight
My reason for living against Gods advice
On the list of my duties, one of my plights
YOU
were the love of my life
if only I had spoken up
and told you then
now we have drifted miles apart
married started our own families
that leaves no room for us
A lifetime with my long lost love
Is what I ask from up above
A time to make the wrong things right
And share a future fair and bright
To mend the blunder of my past
And be with her until the last
To fight for her from this time on
For, her sweet love, I should have won
For I was lost without her love
For years, so yearning like a dove
She is the greatest thing I need
To have her once more is my creed
*For Janet, my long lost love since high school.*
You were the love of my life
if only I had spoke up and told you then
now we have drifted miles apart
married
started our own families
and that leaves no room for us
If only I could feel
Your magic touch
That I've longed for
For an eternity it seems
Feel the love
Pure and unaltered
By time by distance
A lasting forever love
That has taken over
My very heart and soul
My whole being
Oh how I wish
This fervent wish
Could somehow be real
Suddenly
You are here beside me
We touch, we cry
We lose ourselves in love
Totally oblivious
Totally enraptured
This feeling has taken
Over every part of me
Why have I been blessed
Why do I question it
You have returned to me
My dearest, my sweetest
My whole world suddenly
Is bright again
With much more meaning
I am overwhelmed
You are my love of loves
I'm your “Sweet Man”
If only I could feel
Your magic touch
That I've longed for
For an eternity it seems
Feel the love
Pure and unaltered
By time by distance
A lasting forever love
That has taken over
My very heart and soul
My whole being
Oh how I long for
This fervent wish
Could somehow be real
Suddenly
You are here beside me
We touch, we cry
We lose ourselves in love
Totally oblivious
Totally enraptured
This feeling has taken
Over every part of me
Why have I been blessed
Why do I question it
You have returned to me
My dearest, my sweetest
My whole world suddenly
Is bright again
With much more meaning
I am overwhelmed
You are my love of loves
I'm your “Sweet Man”
Usually everyone sees past
What she was or what she might become
To them she is a glass cold and cracked
She bow down
He took her crown
Her love patrols
His money controls
she is open minded and transparent like the sea
But you know what you see
Her throne was strong
But now it felt like is gone
she have never been seen before
she looked for her treasure
but to find it stolen in spirits.
she cried a lot, but she was a sympathy box
She fought for her right
But looked like a rat
She is a princess
People believed she is a winless
She got hated, blackmailed and lost confidence
But still like air she’ll rise
She believed a day will come
Which she will be numb
Unexpectedly there was a change, Everything got rearranged
She saw right through her
She looked, but when she looked she saw something more
To her she is a water living and essential
She smiled as she cried, But she couldn’t try
She was a princess
with a priceless heart
she stood for her throne, and got it back
she learnt to never bow, and let someone take her crown.
Apparently- adopted at birth, I
was timely told this when I turned twelve.
Though always adoring adoptive parents-
so oft turned thoughts to my mom's long-lost love.
My birth mother, most meaningfully would
rebuild roots and resolve rumors which I
diligently dismissed and dared dreamed false-
tried telling thoughts- she is genuinely good.
Youth yielded to adulthood; pursuance passed.
Then, one distinct day a caller came crashing
in my life; lost love loomed- luckily to be found!
My birth mom, brilliantly beaming- found me!
Lost love- now forever found! Puzzles perceived!
We soon connected, comingled, caught up.
The "why, when, where" my sacred start began;
the sharing, saying- from which womb I came.
So oft turned thoughts to my mom's long-lost love;
My birth mom, brilliantly beaming- found me!
High on a passing cloud there floats a dream
Never to be easily forgotten,
Devious destiny weaved its fierce scheme,
Turned my youth into a life so rotten.
The soft song of a Summer Breeze was gone,
But by then we had met and love had won.
How oft we trekked the hills and watched the dawn.
How oft we made love, happy so well done.
Carefree we roamed out our romantic days,
Many noticed silhouettes in moonlight.
How could I not shower her with sweet praise?
Alas she had cancer, love turned to plight.
The gilded leaves of autumn sigh her loss.
Her funeral I bore with a harsh cross.
To hold you again is all I can think of
To feel your body touching mine
To kiss your lips, to hear those words
Love words so tender in rhyme
Am I in heaven, have left this earth
Touch me to prove you are real
My mind's all askew since your return
Is it really you that I feel
Read about love in all those books
Never appeared real until now
Cravings are almost too difficult to bear
To survive I'm wondering how
Then love falls softly into our lap
The world starts singing once more
Love is what makes the world go round
Known the whole world o'er
To hold you again is all I can think of
To feel your body touching mine...
Moonlight glistens off the fallen snow
Like little stars in the valley below
Owl calls across this desolate site
No answer returns on this lonesome night
The wolf's howl echoes over this valley view
Hoping for a clandestine rendezvous
The wind sings in the pines above
Calling for my long lost love
Walking through this wood alone
Returning to my empty home
And ever since love has gone
These lonely nights seem so long
Haunted by a long- lost love,
searching the heavens up above
my lover is all I can dream of.
The gilded leaves of Autumn sigh
as his eyes close to say goodbye;
I kiss his lips and pray as I cry.
On a passing cloud there floats a dream,
as I see him fishing downstream
with the Lord by his side he is seen.
Silhouettes in Moonlight,
dancing to the sounds of the night
as the autumn turns into winter gleaming lights.
The soft song of a Summer Breeze,
jasmine nodding leaves mingle in the trees,
my lover is all I can think of as I fall to my knees.

Two silhouettes in the moonlight haunted by a memory
embers of a night's cajole and stokes of freedom fire
gilded leaves of Autumn sigh and whoosh a lonesome cry
Two lovers haunted by a long lost love that once was theirs
are standing on a wishing cloud - one up and one below
he's aching for an angel's kiss with eyes of reminisce ;
Egressing fast towards the pyre the sparrows join her flight
while on a passing cloud their floats a dream that is no more
he's asking her to dance again - inside his empty arms
But all he hears is the soft song of a Summer Breeze
and an angel's haunting voice that brings him to his knees
as the gilded leaves of Autumn fly a whoosh a nigh n' nigh
Two silhouettes in the moonlight dancing cheek to cheek
one is visible one is not , with spectre light laid bare
he tucks her in his heart for she feels small and light as air
Egressing fast towards the pyre he narrows up the lane
she's living in God's humble lair and he on earthly plane
emergence of the spirit kind - truest love unchained .

I should have done the right thing
But my naivety cost me a lot ,
Now I’m haunted by your lost love and loss,
Your smile and face I can’t forget ,
If rivers and springs flow fall into oblivion ,
Your beauty and trait I can’t forget ,
Your sweet voice tinkled my heart
any time you speak ,
but dissuaded by wrong imagination…
Imagination of losing you to some one else ,
Which turned me into a jealous beast ,
Oh! ,I failed!!,I failed by treating you badly ,
Which made you move out of my life
into the forest of no return---Death.
Now haunted by a long lost love
I lie on my bed still reflecting.
Reflecting…
How life has been…

Haunted by a Long Lost Love
The world before me is a venomous vampire
As your venom seeps thru my window sill
Nestled by nocturnal night breathing dragons fire
Cuddled by the corner of my room a slaving still
For I am haunted by a long lost love
My prayers are lost as they drift on high
For they escape below and so above
As I watch the gilded leaves of autumn sigh
On a passing cloud there floats a dream
Where your ghost will end its phantom fright
But for now, I let loose a silent scream
Echoes of love, silhouettes in moonlight
My heart sings a broken saddened song
For I sit in solitude beside the towering trees
Waiting for someone else to come along
Caressed by the soft song of a summers breeze.
