Lost In Love's Ancient Echoes
Lost In Love's Ancient Echoes
I sat here just to write a poem today
amidst the activity of my long life
With true heart and purpose to say
my past still cuts deep like a knife
Lost dreams haunt my every daily task
memories of those I once dearly loved
Why and where, questions I need to ask
mysteries held by those once beloved
My coffee was as hot as her thrill
she of raven hair and legs so long
Dared not hold her against her will
vanished back in the worldly throng
Another filled with style and grace
dance in singing hold me so tight
Even I, could never match her pace
lovefilled acrobat every sweet night
All passed on as a hot blowing wind
each had grace and unique charms
Departed for thrills around next bend
leaving these outstretched loving arms
Sweet lost dreams eat away at my mind
did my heart fail to hold their love
Was my life destined to be so unkind
with storm clouds always lurking above
I sat here just to write a poem today
amidst the activity of my long life
With true heart and purpose to say
my past still cuts deep like a knife!
