What A Maze |

What A Maze What a maze I walk in sorrow’s shade As I watch your light falter then fade There’s no hope on this sorrowing trail It’s a slippery path into death dark vale But I don’t regret this path I pace I shan’t forget the joy of your soul’s trace The touch of you will always fill me With the light of love’s possibility What labyrinthine ways I wander here Beset by the touch of shadow’s fear There’s no way past the pain for me The place I walk is sorrows territory But I’d not retract one moment of this For it is the price of love’s true kiss I’ve walked my days within love’s light Now I’ll accept the coming of its night What a tangled web that I’m meshed in Enshrouded in a mist that clings within This sign that shadow knows my name That soon I won’t see true love’s flame All around me will fade from view And I will be alone without you But this truth I know and I always will That love knew me and I’d hold it still When the night takes my love from me Then I’ll stand in love’s shadow eternally Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire |

There’s no way past the pain for me The place I walk is sorrows territory But I’d not retract one moment of this For it is the price of love’s true kiss *************************************** Yes, exactly, and most of us have paid at least once. |

Mushy, never lose what you have...and never let it die from your mind or pen...but, at the same time...when that love is gone, go on...for I am sure they would want that too. Beautiful, sad, filled with much truth... |

An a-maze-ing truth you painted, depicting the twists, turns and dead ends that make up life. Brilliant! Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
