Oh, This Foolish Heart
Oh, this foolish heart of mine
why do you keep on yearning
For the one that isn't mine
and keeping this flame burning
You know this love can never be
so why not set it free
instead of hanging onto it.. so
free from it I'll be
Every time my mind's made up
to try hard to forget
This heart of mine starts longing
and again I am beset
With thoughts of what could be
and all the how's and why's
Yet, knowing that it's all in wain
and then I start to cry
Oh, this foolish heart of mine..
oh please, please set me free
From the love I have for one
that cannot ever be
My heart has held on to this love
for such a very long time
I guess my heart keeps hoping...
someday that love will be mine
To Love You
to love you is to fear you,
to cry when you're away,
to see you in my every thoughts,
to want you every day.
to love you is an addiction,
to want you makes me ill.
every look I lay upon you,
makes my world stand still.
to hear you is a living dream
of words I've hard before,
to touch you is like a dangerous drug
that leaves me needing more.
to smell you takes my every breath,
I get lost in your cologne.
to love you is to hurt inside
when ever I'm alone.
to taste your lips leaves me numb,
to hold you leaves me whole
to love you is to need you,
to know you, moves my soul
Come ot me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come to me with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright, eyes as bright as sunlight, sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears, O memory, hope, love of finished years.
Oh, dream, how sweet, too sweet, too bittersweet, whose wakening should have been in paradise,Where souls brimful of love a bide and meet;
Where thirsting, thirsting, longing eyes watch the slow door that opening, letting in, lets out no more.
Yet come to me in dreams that I may live my very life again tho' cold in death: Come back to me in dreams, that I may give, I may give, pulse for pulse breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low, as long ago my love, how long ago.
Evening of roses
Let us goout to the grove
Myrrh, fragents spices and incense
Are a threshold for your feet
Night falls slowly
And the wind of roses is blowing
Let me whisper you a song, secretly
A song of love
Dawn, a dove is cooing
Your head is filled with dew
Your mouth is a rose unto the morning
I will pick it for myself
I have remembered beauty in the night,
Against black silences I waked to see
A shower of sunlight over Italy
And green Ravello dreaming on her height;
I have remembered music in the dark,
The clean swift brightness of a fugue of Bach's,
And running water singing on the rocks
When once in English woods I heard a lark.
But all remembered beauty is no more
Than a vague prelude to the thought of you --
You are the rarest soul I ever knew,
Lover of beauty, knightliest and best;
My thoughts seek you as waves that seek the shore,
And when I think of you, I am at rest.
