LOVELUST

Time

Forever changing

Yet always the same

Like our love

It’s constantly there

No matter how difficult

Is each bridge

We cross.

Life is here

For us to savor

As well as to

Cherish.

Let us lose ourselves

In each other’s arms.

Let the warmth

Of our bodies

Abolish the chill

Of the night.

Caress my lips

And I yours

For my being

Belongs to you.

I shall do as you wish

For I am your love slave

And you are mine.

We shall never

Depart from each other

If I am to be perfect.

I must feel you

Breathing

Upon my neck.

Your body

Sleeping next to mine

Forever

My love

And always

Time.

SWEET SORROW

Sing to me, Sweet Sorrow

Of summer days of past.

You know that I still love you.

You know I always will.

So, sing to me, Sweet Sorrow

Of summer days of past.

As a token of my loyalty

As a symbol of my love

I give to you, my darling

This beautiful rose of gold.

As summer flowers wilt

And colored leaves descend

The days are getting colder now

And the nights becoming longer

Remember this, my darling

I will stay at your side forever.

Sing to me, Sweet Sorrow

Of summer days of past.

You know that I still love you.

You know I always will.

So, sing to me, Sweet Sorrow

Of summer days of past.

As winter nights go slowly by

I tell you now, my love

My heart will be with you always

You know that to be true.

So, my love, please stay tonight

And
