I shall enshrine you within my mind Exactly as you are, standing in this glade, Searching my face with your hauntingly lovely eyes Half-filled with tears.
I want you to smile, wish you would smile ... Please, will you smile for me once more, my love? But you press your lips together And your chin trembles And your tears overflow, Etching your cheeks with delicate lines of silver.
How can I offer reassurances, Promise to return to you, When my own heart is plagued with doubt? How can I say the words you want to hear: That we will not be forever separate, That no black fate awaits me far from home, That one day I shall return to this place And hold you in my arms again?
Oh, how I long to say those things and more, To end your tears, erase your fears, That I may see your captivating smile. But I would never lie to you, my love, Not though my heart is suddenly overwhelmed With a terrible and unrelenting certainty:
Nevermore shall I look upon your face.
The wind plays gently through your hair, Lifting strands into the dappled light As you turn from me And walk away.
Itīs wonderful to see your feelings also in your arts. Simply amazing.
