    True Love and sweet bitterness

     The constant ring of pain
    Wracks my entire being
    in the wakefullness of the day
    Something more that i am seeing

    Open eyes to what's in store
    Beyond the bells of pain
    A life, a future, joyous times
    And sadness when it rains

    The kiss of teardrops on leaves
    The tenderness of my soul
    I am old but young inside myself
    Like a new born foal

    Life gives joy, peace brings hope
    My world is no longer torn
    I don't have to worry anymore
    My life is no longer scorned

    Love surrounds and blankets my being
    Wraps its tender mercies around me
    The endless flow of love surrounds
    It's branches are like a tree

    Blossoms and blooms
    Are the way of the spring
    Everything new in the air
    Takes me to a special place, lovers fling

    As each moment ticks and slides away
    I feel the love renewed
    Each day a song to sing to me
    Like the tender drops of dew

    Wash me in the morning rays
    My heart beats just for you
    Tell me you love me one more time
    I know my love is true

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
