I felt them on me today
Your hazel brown eyes
From the distance you stared
You came, you cared
...
It was an escape, the rings, the dress
The empty wordless caress
Do as you are bidden
Was a malady deeply ridden
...
My friend has come back to me
And I can only wonder
Is this all true
Or just a nine day wonder
...
She may not be old
or have sacks of gold
but know this for sure
for only you she endures
...
Alas! I wait with bated breath
For words that would bring me wealth
A treasure of kindness
Mixed with gems of faithfulness
...
I wandered lonely along life's paths
Not stopped to think how it might pass
Eons of solitude are written my way
And yet I never did sway
...
Like a crab without its shell
Like a baby bird left on its own
Like a little foal standing alone
...
It is the final goodbye
I cannot see now eye to eye
It has been confirmed
You had been me fooled with the lie
...
I found a treasure
In the crags of a rock
Hard stone twas tad tough
Beneath ages of denudation
...
