Gloria CarpenterSilk lingerie, in dancer’s sway, such disarray fills love’s embrace. A waltzing gown, it cascades down, two lovers drown in folds of lace. Without attire, such strong desire find hearts on fire, so oft the case. Asleep they drift in slumber’s shift, a peaceful gift, this state of grace. As dawn awakes, his leave he takes, with heartbeat aches, an empty place. But love is strong, he heeds its song, he knows belong, his steps retrace. back to list |
Ryter RoethicleLook in the sky, birds, flying high, saying goodbye, it's winter time. Wishes from me, things cannot be, I am not free, but love's no crime. Envy the bird, his song is heard, he roams the world, singing his song. We cannot sing, here's where we cling, where pain we bring, we don't belong. back to list |
