Red Velvet - Situational Ethics
Formless tears upon my face
Are lost among the soiled lace
I find the stair within my heart
Each flight is thirteen steps apart.
And where I stand, the foot of first
And there the top, the love I thirst
Of all emotions screaming me
You are the only one I see.
Of that I have, is yours and none
Be mine, and I shall have become
The dream that only you fulfill
The secrets left to strength and will.
Would scratch my soul, for irritates
The freedom, yes, my mind awaits
Be one, around her neck, the key
Placed in my lock, releases me.
Look upon me, see me standing
Proudly here, a single landing.
Legendary heart of mine
Promise me that I'll be fine.
As I lie alone here in the dark
Stirring memories of recent past
Rhetorical questions seem my fancy.
My thoughts, caressing gently, you
And whisper soft, a love so true.
A dream of walking in the park
I hope that it will last
Cross the ballroom floor of passion, as we are slowly dancing.
Tears of pain and agony
Promises of what I'll be
Discovered life has many fears
And bravery doesn't stop the tears.
I'll stand my ground and stand the test
Of time and what is laid to rest
In a grave beside a marriage true
Will join his spouse as one is two.
And finally that, for which she'll wait
What forty years will separate
At peace again, as hand in hand
Eventual fate, I'll understand.
I don't know where to start
In the play of life
I've forgotten my part.
And I've no co-star
With which to rehearse
I stand alone with my lonely verse.
So, center stage, I stand alone
Cast out from the masses
The tale grows older, page by page
My timeless friendship passes.
The secrets that I would confide
Are locked within my soul
I dragged emotions to the end
And now they take their toll.
With no inspiration
I find no words
I've lost my heart
For lack of love.
The one I treasure
Would seem so distant
Her heavenly image
High above.
It seems when we fall
That is when we hurt ourselves the most.
The tale as told
And so it goes
Predict the past
Nobody knows.
The twinkle in my eyes
Reveals
The girl I love
My heart she steals.
I'll never need
Another love
So long as she's
My peaceful dove.
I have enough
To share with you
The words I speak one day,
"I do."
If you are gone
Survive I will
But surely fall
My love is all.
And doubt no more
I find the strength
I let you live
The least I give.
I'll hold my tongue
And stay my hand
To lose it not
The love I bought.
'Tis what I've earned
Devoted time
A marriage true
For I love you.
I look inside
And find the peace
Realize why it's so hard.
I never had
The faith to draw
And play my hand, the winning card.
But start afresh
Begin anew
And not rely on memories passed.
For many bluff
To take the hand
I'd rather win the game at last.
Await your voice
To ease my pain
The time will slow
To keep me sane.
To hear the words
That love survives
Would keep my heart
From sorrows knives.
I'll try my best
To fight the tears
But fruit is bitter
Love it bears.
So apologies
Hear my cry
We see mistakes
Will show us why.
Of origin
My tainted soul
So deep within
This empty hole.
My heart awaits
That love so true
And tips the scales
So far from view.
I know for now
That destiny
To be alone
Or remedy.
My heart was burned
And surely scarred
Still need you near
The image marred.
My heart is yours
And yours
So mine.
We've learned
Apart
That we'd be fine.
But know
I'd rather
Be together.
It makes
My life
Just that much better.
My friend, my love
I have discovered
I've had too many
To have another.
You are the last
The best and so
I've set my mind
Heart can't let go.
I know that
All will pass me by
For I won't show
What's deep inside.
I wait for time
It not for me
Return this moment
Together we'll be.
No such thing
Will be my swan
So on the water
My love is born.
You saw my heart
Within my words
A though of you
My mind it carries.
Upon situation
I take the chance
To proposition
Romantic dance.
And so you see
To make transition
My past behind
My heart it queries.
To start again
Would be so crude
Refinery
Of nature's ways.
It seems so strange
To see the truth
Events have passed
These recent days.
I have moved on
But yet I stay
Perhaps this time
I've healed again.
So build this wall
By brick, by brick
But build a window
So now and then.
Tears of joy
Found where I stand
Just wait, one day I'll take your hand.
I'll show the world
What love can do
Most anything when it's for you.
And I would never
Leave your side
I'll ease the pain from times you've cried.
Now hold you near
And whisper soft
Your presence makes me smile oft.
The end came to the beginning
And said, "I've brought you down."
The beginning turned to face the end
"But look at what we've found."
"We're joining pieces of a circle
The finish and the start.
I've waited here for your return
You've played the biggest part."
"You started on your journey eager
For purpose that you'd lack.
So did your best, got through the worst
By never looking back."
"The road was long
The days longer still
To see the time we'd be together
And now we are
Forever we will
Our love enduring any weather."
