When Love Sets Sail

The harsh caress of loneliness means nothing when in love.
For every day I had you I thanked God high up above.
When twilight fell, you stayed with me, my beacon in the night.
Through all the wrongs yet left undone, you always saw the light.

 
For each new heart that’s broken yet another is repaired.
With sweet romantic tokens only two in love have shared.
To seal the bond between them, an entwining of the soul;
one piece without the other is to feel much less than whole.

 
Cruel winter’s chill approached too soon—we lost pure passion's flame.
And while the snow fell soft and slow, obscured was who to blame.
 Tho’ harshest winds came howling like an frigid, arctic blast,
you touched the very core of me—within your warmth, I basked.

 
Tho' sunlit days have passed too fast, slipped far beyond the veil,
those whispered words, "I love you”, send fond memories a' sail.
