...this one...is always for Rebecca... one day while trying to remember the notes to the love theme from Braveheart...I came up with this...a little love dirge... Sol


let me tell you of my sweetheart
her crimson hair, like campfire light
a million stars burn in her brown eyes
flashing deep, eternal night

we did meet in the autumn
when the leaves are red and gold
we fell in love upon first looking
a miracle, so I am told

when I wander through dark shadows
or I get lost in doubt filled night
her heart flares up a raging bonfire
casting hope, on paths of right

and I shall make like her a statue
tall and proud and shining white
and there upon a golden placard
these gilded words my hands shall write

"You are more to me than body
more than breath and more than life
for you are the very heart of me
flame of my soul...burning bright"

when she's gone up to God's heaven
then she'll bow down before God's throne
the only man who ever loved her more
and that is God, and God alone

for to Him, she's more than body
more than breath and more than life
for He knows, she is the heart of me
flame of my soul,....burning bright..


now I've told you...of my sweetheart.....

This is oh so beautiful, Sol!  What a great tribute to the woman you love!  It must make her very happy.  

To love another person is to see the face of God.

* blushes and smiles* oddly enough...I was reluctant to tell her this when I first wrote it....i would sing it to myself over and over while i was at work...but never to her...*L* mostly because I cannot stand my singing voice..then after sharing it with a dear friend...who admonished me harshly to tell it all to Becky..i quietly sang it on valentines day night..snuggled up in bed...she cried..something she rarely does...yes..i am the romantic...*L* but then...aren't we all???...even when the ones we love are not..

SolticeSon~
Lovely, lovely ...
Phrases from the heart should always be
shared with the one that inspired them.
I'm sure she is glad you shared them with her.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Great Piece.  Loves' an amazing thing your dirge has opened death ears and shined within the blindest eyes.  Enjoyed reading every line.
