No Regrets, But One.

Moon both waxing and waning in perfect harmony,
Stars carpeting the pure black sky.
Ice forming on the dew, breath freezing in gentle puffs.
Picture perfect the plan was set
invited to the private  inner sanctum
unworldly treasures priceless in their simplicity
valued beyond all riches.

your warmth enveloped me, reassured me.
Trust , explicit and given freely.
two lonely souls seeking solace on life's rugged highway.
Joys shared with boundless expression
hopes, dreams, plans formed and reformed.

Time to depart from the joyous start.
dreams and hopes fade with reality's harsh gaze.
Was it you who first saw the cracks appear?
Hope replaced by fear.
Surely together we can fight the demon and win?
The riteous stand tall whilst the evil will fall.

In true cavalier style you take the reins 
decide to do battle but on your own.
leaving me to ponder why?
You resist my pleas to help.
were our dreams too hard to grasp, 
or was I too dreamy for your love!

Time stands still whilst you retreat
I give you my blessings. It is what you need.
My doubts come flooding in,
perhaps I have made you leave?
I pannic in my fears, my pain envelopes me.

No it is true, the final blow has come
my breath leaves me as you say "no more"
How could I have read you so wrong?
We agreed no regrets. No regrets I say, but one.

Duet of Two Souls

Which way did I go?
Before me the junction, behind me a road.
Look not behind, it matters not, no mistakes, 
no regrets, can be carried forever
Four roads ,three choices ,which one am I ? 
The one to the right, the right one, the only one.
The road you are on,
I now travel upon
dusty, old and battered 
my suitcase or my heart?
Both, but where do I start?
Come to me sweet lover,
together we will wash away the stain.
This is a new start with a new heart 
I know now which way I'll go .........with you.

Lover

Lover, why do you wake me at 3 am?
Is it to breathe on my neck, or to perhaps make sweet love?
You do tease me again!
Of course, for no amount of persuasion or whispering in my ear
will let you any closer.....
Please do ask, I need to know you have me in your heart.
Truly I would have you, it is not me who holds us apart.
It is time and distance that won't let us near.
Oh sweet, sweet lover, tell me again, why do you wake me at 3am?
