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!
