Muse Terpsichore, from heaven’s floor,
...sings to the earth below,
I yearn thy kiss, I miss of bliss,
...why did you have to go?
What have I done, O’ dearest one,
...to cause true love to flee,
Into the night, in hurried flight,
...mine heart it aches for thee,
A love once strong, O’ how I long,
...sweet scent of thy desire,
To hold you near, thy touch so dear,
...feel warmth of passion’s fire.
But alas, your love did pass,
...as from my side you left,
Leaving me, to ever be,
...saddened and bereft,
Forget me not, our love begot,
...as we danced ‘cross heaven’s floor,
A love so rare, beyond compare,
...so sang Muse Terpsichore.

Reprise:

Forgotten times of crystal chimes,
...soft hush of spring's first rain,
Paths not taken, now forsaken,
...sweet sorrows without pain,
As wisps of air, tease ebon hair,
...rememberance of thee,
Of flowing streams and flowered dreams,
...of love not meant to be,
Evening's calm, love's soothing balm,
...of joy once known to me,
Cool autumn breeze, as summer flees,
...farewell, thy memory,
Night's sailing ships, soft satin lips,
...no more a new day's dawn,
Velvet petals, tarnished metals,
...sweet scent of rose now gone,
Call of the loon, a hunter's moon,
...whispers on the wind,
Words not spoken, promise broken,
...heartaches never end,
Upon a star, I gaze afar,
...upon an angel's face,
Foevermore, means nevermore,
...forever elfin grace,
Forgotten times of crystal chimes,
...awakened from their sleep,
For in mine heart, shall never part,
...forever will thy keep.

I always know I will either sigh
or giggle
when I click into your posts,
but sometimes, the title
will hint to me
what to expect, and I am never,
ever, disappointed.

Thank you, Tim.

Tim,

I think this was the first of yours I have read...makes me wonder what I have been missing. The form was graceful and breath taking. I really enjoyed it.
