Loving a Beautiful Vanishing Spirit

Loving A Beautiful Vanishing Spirit

Coming in a flash, vanishing into the night
A mirage or spirit that so tempts me.
Each midnight longing for delicious delight
O' the misery when she races to flee!

Tempting her to stay longer with a song
singing of radiant and soft love.
Slowly increasing, nursing her to stay long
song brings angels in from above.

First steamy night in the month of June
a trap was so very cleverly set.
Beneath the glow of a love beaming moon
we blessedly and miraculously met!

As her light changed into that soft flesh
my heart exploded with deepest joy.
We danced, our souls then magically mesh
moment of rapture we both did enjoy.

For months my ardor did massively grow
our relationship, sweet song in tune.
With unbelievable loving memories in tow
from disaster, surely we were immune.

Alas, cruel fate, that tormentor so dark
cut in to sow jealousy and despair.
Reality became a monster ravenously stark
her leaving loomed large in the air!

Night filled with heartache and epic pain
she cried that she was to go away.
Her sad words set me ablaze and insane
desperately begging her to stay.

This our deep love, tis' not meant to be
she cried fleeing forever into night
I was a ship, you the splashing blue sea
forever, I now must dock out of sight

Words that haunt my every sad waking hour
memories of eyes that ate my soul
She the diamond that gave us loving power
I was but the humble lump of coal!

NOTE- She is gone, a crater rests within my heart
to live all alone, I now so sadly must start..
