No more…

No more dreams
In shards of jade
Of love unbound
Eternal made…
No more sunlit
Laughing rays -
The essence of
Our glory days…
No more breaths
Of morning dew
Upon a face
I so well knew…
No more stars,
Or sun, or moon -
A void remains
Without your bloom…
No more hope
To hold on to….
No more beauty…
No more tears…
No more…
Just less…
We end…
Roxette – It Must Have Been Love
Make-believing we’re together,
That I’m sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I’ve turned to water
Like a teardrop in your palm…
It must have been love
But it’s over now,
It was all that I wanted,
Now I’m living without…
Can’t say goodbye…

Butterfly kisses -
The linger of your essence;
I’m thinking of you…
~~~
Closer than my skin -
My soul has found its equal;
You live in my heart…
~~~
Sweeter than our sin -
It will not be forsaken;
This love from within…

Like the oceans, eternal,
My love for you will flow -
In the endless beating tides
This heart will never slow,
For the pain now locked inside
I will never ever show…
Like the mountains, majestic,
For you I will remain -
Never further than horizons
This heart will stay the same,
For the friendship we hold dear
We will keep each other sane…
Like the stars, dependable,
My hope will light your night -
Closer than a whispered scream
This heart will share your plight,
For the tears that we have shared
I will always hold you tight…
Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You
Goodbye my love

Gone away – these fairest winds
On which we wrote our boundless love -
Out of luck and out of time we’re
Destined to be blown apart -
Bitter to the harrowed end the
Years will fall around our hearts -
Ever gray when we depart…
Mists will shroud these memories
Yet all the scars won’t fade away…
Leave a kiss upon my sill
On which I’ll wish one rainy day;
Vague reminders of a time when
Endings seemed so far away…
James Blunt – Goodbye my lover
Final sunset

Think of happy moments past
And wonder if it was your last:
Did you savor every second
Or would you regret their passage…?
Did you burn-in every facet
Of the loving on her face?
Did you linger in her laughter
Knowing you would be replaced…?
Did you cherish gentle kisses
Or were you somewhat remiss?
Did you know the final sunset
Took away your light for good?
Did you feel the very moment
When you gave your heart away?
And if you knew what you do now
Would you still do it anyway…?
…yes… I would…
