I Love You Still
Thou magic which my heart conceived
upon thy tender chest,
the beat of heart
thy memory kept
as twinge of pain did start.
Though skies be fair or sunny bright
timeless the memory of your eyes,
melting the fabric of my new found life
as I ponder the pain of yours in the night.
Oh how I wish that I could fill
those dreams you had yourself
don't you know I love you still
too true I always will.
I think of you and bate my breath
thou loving gaze, thy sweet caress.
Though I know, nevertheless
right for me...
you were just a little less
Of all I needed
and that I dreamed
from the first for which I pleaded
yet nothing and everything was as it seemed
Ache I will for roots grown deep
hidden underground
though balanced branches take their reach
'twas under the soil depth was found.
Some deep abiding mystery
mine heart shall not forget
that unforgettable symphony
holding tune the tempo of regret
Just this moment beholding the moon
a sigh passes nary my lips
in hopes my wish could find you soon
the hand of loves timeless click
In my heart still I hold you
where room knows no boundary wall
a promise of forever not untrue
when the memory of your eyes I recall
Even now when joy is full
to the brim and runneth over
what could have been's still have their pull
and tear my heart asunder
Still I wish with all my heart
true love you find again
this time ready to impart
the actions of lesser men
Waste not thy years
with so few left
in sadness or regret,
but take thy tears
commingled here
living for what's coming yet...
For fate has sealed
It's place in time
the season of its days,
For choice of heart and of its ways
are perplexities I can't explain.
Unto infinity you'll hold in part
that chain wound round my heart
a voice and eyes that now must hide
In the pocket full of memories of my life.
Such is the sorrow to know you hurt
and all the damage done
If only this wish at once deferred
and of your heartache be done
