The scent of your embrace was left behind
Soon after you left to pursue your star;
It seems, it's all I have of you to bind
The memories to wherever you are;
...
I watched some clouds the way we used to do,
Discerning shapes formed every now and then,
When once, a figure looked so much like you,
That brought me feelings, all so sweet again;
...
I could be one of things that love forgot,
My love seems not to think of me at all,
It's Summer now, but not a call I've got,
She got in touch, the latest was last Fall;
...
When pitch-dark night lodged complaints to the sun,
About the seeming darkness of its soul
Once silver moon comes not to bring the fun,
As no star witnesses opt to console;
...
A semblance to your aspect, I detect,
Among the lovely things which strayed my way,
As such similitude I oft expect,
To brighten up my very gloomy day;
...
This heart adores with feelings true and pure
A lady love, so sweet, of classic mien,
So discreet in ways, subtle and demure,
Yet keen to hear buds opening unseen;
...
Such flower blooms conspicuous in the lea,
As I peruse, it soon made me aware
Just why, when many others there did lay,
This blossom proved special though it's not rare;
...
Her mornings spent amidst the various blooms,
The garden was in luck to share her day,
Her joy, at times, in singing she resumes
By tune she hums that lilts as symphony;
...
Will it be right, remembering you by,
As cool, white beach of wavelets rolling low,
Beneath clear skies where shrieking seagulls fly,
Which sail the breeze, erst on my cheeks would blow;
...
Tell me why I would lose your love,
When it is all that I now own?
As sent by Heaven from above,
Tell me why I would lose your love?
...
