If I could capture your heart
Even for just a day
I'd give away my soul
That's a price I'd dearly pay

Just to hold your heart in mine
For a day or maybe two
Would mean we'd be together
The two of us
Me and You

I'd give anything for that
Even for only just awhile
Give anything to hold your heart in mine
And watch them both smile

How happy they would be
Together entwined as one
Together smiling happily
Until the day was done

Then they'd slowly drift apart
Never to touch again
There my heart broken
My soul of course slain

Because I sold my soul to have your heart
For a day or maybe two
And that was the price I paid
To hold the heart of you

  



Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe

Nice work here.  

Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau"

Tracci a wonderful poem filled with yearning for love. Sometimes it is a very tempting idea, and I wonder if I had the chance would I sell my soul for love. really enjoyed reading your poem.
