Words Mingle And Melt When I Think Of You... Poem by Denis Martindale

Words mingle and melt when I think of you…
Yet their sentiments remain…
And suddenly, when you come into view,
I'm thinking those words once again…
And the closer you get, the more I love…
And to hold your hand seems divine…
Yet even this is never enough,
Until your kisses are mine…

How can I share the lady I love?
She's beautiful if free…
As gentle as a precious dove,
She means that much to me…
So I must do my level best…
As if to play a part,
As if she were my noble quest…
Life's meaning to my heart…
Yet should she, one day, say good-bye…
No more to see her face…
I know a part of me will die…
At the parting of our ways…
That's why I must reveal the truth,
My heart upon my sleeve
And every day to offer proof,
With no thoughts to deceive…

Words mingle and melt when I think of you…
Yet their sentiments remain…
And suddenly, when you come into view,
I'm thinking those words once again…
And the closer you get, the more I love…
And to hold your hand seems divine…
Yet even this is never enough,
Until your kisses are mine…
