lips by phil burns
when you turned your face towards me
my soul began to shiver
I knew that when our lips first touched
my life would change forever
when your sweet breath entangled mine
like a song without a sound
a perfect harmony of love
my world stopped spinning round
when I looked into your dancing eyes
and saw the light that shone
I knew that I’d keep holding on
till hope’s last drop had gone
because I always understood
you were far too good for me
but I had to try to live the dream
praying for eternity
if I could go back to that night
just before our lips first met
and quickly walk away from you
I’d have nothing to regret
but then I’d lose those memories
that I can’t bear to forget
so I’ll hold on to the heartbreak
and the tears and that regret

Oh Pink One… what is that Tennyson said? ” ‘Tis better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. “

AnElephantCant always be happy
He still has one mammoth regret
No matter how long
He avoids that one song
AnElephantCant ever forget

Merci, cherie, mais c’est seulement une poésie!
And thank you for your comment on Phil’s art.
I have used this piece before, and make no apologies for using it again.
I think it is magical.
