A WOMAN ON MY MIND TONIGHT (12.31.11 12:37am)

A WOMAN ON MY MIND TONIGHT

oh such soft cheeks of sweet roses I do miss

what rare and radiant lips too gentle for a kiss

she just may be a Juliet in here beauty

dead and lost in the sea

but there be no Romeo within me

 

oh gentle night to spy upon open shutters

a feather floating on the winds of lovers

heads over heals to fly like the morning dove

gliding my dreams upon soft beds lay quiet voices in love

and these silent temptresses disposed of

 

oh that heart that lays within your breast

I await to begin and to outwit any lovers test

this love that never ceases to quit

this broken knife at my hip

shall be the end of me if denied our lover's sip

 

I could never endorse the temptations of these whims

for this night be a mere lust of sins

to ruminate the shedding cloth untied

but as of now these eyes must look aside

away with this love that I have spied

 

when this sun rises a cold breeze upon my sheets

following my feet on the empty streets

for this merely be a fool's contemplation

a fool's quarrel for love's liberation

to end such a meaningless sense of fixation.

rings with the lilting voice of the Irish and harks back to Dylan Thomas, fairly sliding from one cherry line to the next. I bright future I see for yee my boy. Don't change a thing in your approach, but listen to the "well meaning" advice of those who dissuade you with a "grain or two" of salt. Some will despise the talent you so amply demonstrate...

Your words reminded me of my girl ! First and second para gives a special feeling.
