He comes and goes Like a breeze: In her life… And out again Filling sails of joy Then calm and agony Like the breeze He is an ephemeral happening Coming and going Never knowing anything A wind so strong yet gentle too Stretching her sails With feelings beyond compare A sensation that never fails Every time he is near Like a boat in a calm Unable to move She flounders about yearning: Will the wind come today? Her heart is burning Anticipation at every whisper Of a change in the weather Hope and expectancy all the day When will they meet again? Like a ship and the wind All risk is blinded By desire so strong The need is so great What can go wrong? Although the wind at times Causes feelings of fright A course filled with danger And suspicion Will this love survive another night? The stronger the ship The will to survive They are anodynes And this love affair Will never die
