PRISONER OF LOVE

I was not at all surprised when I received your call
Months had passed since we met in the park
But your beauty, elegance and perfume 
Took sanctuary in my mind
And I knew it was just a matter of time

Summer's heat bowed to fall's breath
And even though there were some 
Summer experiences I had hoped to forget 
Ours was so magical and mystical 
My craving heart will never live in regret 

Your voice fragranced the air
Causing every particle of my world 
To stand still in awe of your loveliness 
To your beauty the roses of the garden gave way
And the radiance your smile unveiled 
Seized the night in the everlasting arms of the day 

Because of you my love
I have made a covenant with my mind
To always think of you in the good and bad times 
And in my deepest of sleep 
May your awesome love continue to bleed
Through the veins of my dreams
