Love's a Shadow of Hope

Oh fickle fondled minds
of women changing minds
The death of me is change,
yet stable seek I love,
in this blue world of pain.

Love's a shadow of hope
to desire in heart's home.
mistakes I've made so great,
expecting gain in dames,
yet shallow shells I've found,
hearts with no affection.
without warmth and love-faith.
Vicious wolves that do howl,
so eager to betray
without a second thought.

for five days passionate love
the sixth your betrayal. 
I've found no companion,
to mirror my person,
in this journey across
these foreign lands and sights.
strangers became my friends,
when alone in moonlight,
my own self did I find.
