my love is but a tender beating of my heart so still, yet insistent, though reposed... my love is a mystery to me not the choice I would suppose... an echo in a canyon like my soul empty cries, my love whispers love to me in pain, he whispers, "why?" why my heart do you torture yourself so? you know that I alone love you I speak to you every night you are my soul you are my light my pain is your pain my joy is your life my heart whispers to your heart in the still of the night in your dreams. . . in them will I protect thee and stop the screams. . . why does my love lie with another? why am i chained to this tree... how can I now ever recover the spark that he has lit in me? thy love lies with another because he is not yours this tree is a part of you, it sustains your life one day, you will meet on that other shore until then, he will calm your heart of strife. . . how can I now, save fire, spent, ashes of the past relent, how can I now take step toward a life without his troth--I scorn reality--not for me-- I'll drink this poison till I die and always will I hear his words echoed, whispered, whispered, "why?" my heart, step into the fire let it cleasne thy soul and let thy spirit aspire to greater things, to a life of love this is thy reality my love to sing the song of the gentle dove to drink not the poison but the wine but thou continueth to hurt therefore his painful. . . "why?" yet I will love him, and willing die. =================================================== By: Sven and serenity -------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
