You came with all the splendor of the rising sun,
With the symphony of Mozart in your eyes,
You came like a rain in a dusty summer
And when you spoke, everything went still.
With royal grace you moved about, unknowing
The havoc you caused my mind
I was struck like a thunderbolt… smitten,
Bewitched, and bewildered, my heart lay fallen
How long in silence will I remain imprisoned?
For in your presence this wretched tongue is mute
My eyes can’t even meet your gaze and tell
The words held captive for a thousand years.
One day, this heart of mine shall find the strength
To go against tradition, culture, or convention
And though a woman’s place in courtship is to wait
I’ll wait no more and be judged by fate.
Such a dare, isn't it? A 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation... I'd say a thing or two if I had such nerve, but I don't, so I won't! ! And the fear of rejection... yeah, that's the other half of it! ! Hey, maybe we 'should' leave it up to the 'man'? lol Please... if I have to wait for a man again, I'd never get anywhere. Typically we'd have to spell it out to them anyway! Love how you get me thinkin' girl lol Hugs, Lee
Jemarie - Love is the strongest force on earth, and most unpredictable. Read my 'It's Just Blood' and see if you agree. great write - Cheryl
A woman is still a woman by the standard of man.No matter what she has achieved or status in life, she has to be submissive to the love of his man not for another.If she goes beyond the fence, she will be judged accordingly. She can love the man of her heart but wait for the man to express his love for her, in this way she will have nothing to regret! . Worth 10 for me.
I really love this one. Like really concider in the first line you used one of my words and used it quite well. Plus in the second stanze the first line also had anotehr favorite word. I truly love this its shows the strength within those who often feel weak.
