You alone...‘Twas always you,
Who shaped my vision splendid.
And took my very breath away,
By beauty… never ended.
If Helena launched a thousand ships,
And ruled a dynasty.
Then a thousand times I’ve kissed your lips,
And tasted ecstasy.

It was you... ‘Twas always you,
With your love so pure… and yet.
‘Twas a love not meant to last,
Our sun at last had set.
I lived awhile and loved awhile,
In a world that gave me you.
My loss shall not diminish,
The love that once we knew.

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~
