With Her in my Company

It’s incredible to me
How much there is in a face
In a look, in a voice, in a presence
The ones that bring with them affection
Those ones I cherish most

There once was a girl
Whom bare-chested my heart
She had eyes and an ear for someone
I was never the one she wanted or whished
I was only a ghost in the wind

She was once a true love of mine
My days were spent whisked far away
Far from my body, and far from my brain
I wanted nothing but her love but she gave it away
To everyone that I looked to around me

Can’t she see my melancholic soul?
Can’t her heart hear the song that I’ve been singing?
I once adored, but from my genuflections reverberated sound
On the opus of my dying hearts majestic song of loves distained
I held her once, and once again

Incredible she was
The face I still remember
Her look, face, voice, presence
She brought with her, affections  
I cherish her the most

I am the two-toed wanderer
