Love Poem: Days of the Heart

Days of the Heart

Yesterday is a captive of the past
 Tomorrow takes no prisoners,
 Here and now you've captured my heart
 Forever, you and I, never to part
 
 The butterfly's fluttering song
 Dances on the summer breeze
 Your heart dances too, and you smile
 A smile which echoes in memory for many a while

 There is a river of love flowing through the day
 Shimmering in the summer sun
 And as it meanders into the night
 I'll hold you close 'neath the moonlight

 Time has trickled by silently
 And my heart sings solo 
 many a summer has passed
 Yet I find I'm not free;
 Like yesterday, my heart is a captive of the past
