Why must two
So fated for each other
Be separated
By such a great divide?
He in distant land
And I
I here.
With no steed
Nor spell
Nor wings
To traverse the thousand mile
In my young mind
New York to Paris.
Elders dismiss our love.
Childish fancy
Soon forgotten for another
Put on the pedestal to worship.
They say I have youth
And should be glad
But that is not what I want.
Youth without love?
I may be young
But no which way a child.
I know love when I feel it.
I feel it now.
Warm as home�s hearthfire
Soft as first touch
Strong as his embrace.
I am enraged by this fate.
It separates for spite
To squeeze my aching heart
Till it bursts.
Come a day
I will feel the vivid loneliness
So I cannot go on.
Will stretch on the ground
Shaded by green canopy
Determined to die.
But then I will feel
His hand
In mine
And grasp it like a lifeline.
And I will be in his arms
And forget
All else.
So I don
Night�s diamond set dress
And he
The moon�s silver cloak
And we dance
Together
In
The
Dark.
Back...
