A True Love Was Found
By the shores of a lake, a true love was found.
Love's search now was over, a Queen she was crowned.
Life's promise re-awakened, love's rewards now awaited.
Glorious nights to share passions – That shall never be sated.
Since then a world travelled - diamonds too played a part.
Their shared love - almost treason – now found coming apart.
With words still unspoken - and without expectation,
A crown found discarded - reflected her sudden resignation.
So many tomorrows since then, have now passed,
And still there's deep sorrow, they said would not last.
With unmanly tears that continue to flow.
A broken heart's lament - that just will not slow.
If with another - true love since she's found.
Then love's journey surely, just a merry-go-round.
All hope then is lost that this love might rekindle,
And his dreams of a union must surely now dwindle.
The dark of long lonely nights reflect on each day.
Yet his belief she'll come back - will just not go away.
A love with such promise never again to be found,
Cannot be discarded - not even with reason - for it's far too profound.
