Forevermore

Forevermore your love I'll be
Hold me to this promise true
You get to be as free as can be
While forevermore loving me
Even though now it's hard to see
And you can't believe it true
Forevermore your love I'll be
Hold me to this promise true

Sight

Call on me in that darkest hour
From your dark and hidden cower
I'll be what you need me to
Do what no one else can do a
And take you to my hidden bower

Our love is your secret power
When the rest of the world seems sour
I know you're feeling blue
The world will see what it wants

We enjoy the grandest flower
Grown and strewn from highest towers Bloomed in love so true
You know just what to do
We possess all the power
The world will see what it wants

My World (Villanelle)

You are the only thing that's true
I feel my love grow bright
Know my world is only you

While my heart is feeling blue
And nothing else feels right
You are the only thing that's true

Your love changed my point of view
And made the darkness light
Know my world is only you

Never could I be untrue
Or give up without a fight
Know my world is only you

This love I will never rue
No matter what my plight
You are the only thing that's true
Know my world is only you

Downfall (Rubáiyát)

How long shall I wait for you?
Does waiting prove my love more true?
Not sure what thought hurts me most
Either way my heart is blue

The past is coming to haunt me in ghosts
Asking who I love the most
My answer should not surprised at all
I hope that God forgives my boast

But you have me in total thrall
Over and over again I fall
I just hope you love me too
Or you shall be my downfall

What Men Really Want...

What Men Really Want…

Why must men insist and say

Care not for dress, throw wiles away

Who put it about, who heard it said

A man cares for the looks inside our heads?

But do they mean it, what they say?

Or is it an attempt to gain our bed?

They try to stay two steps ahead

Why must men persist and say…

A loving wife they wish to wed

To laugh and smile all the day

Intelligence should fill their head

Care not for dress, throw wiles away

It’s enough to make a girl see red

To find the original protégée.

Who thought enough to think of a way?

Who put it about, who made it said?

A girl is beautiful for skills she conveys

Not bosoms big, shining hair or lips of red

When that is true, I’ll seize the day

When a man cares for the looks inside our heads!
