Chapter One

AFFAIRS OF THE HEART

Hopes and Dreams

A brilliant sunset melting into twilight,
Is breath taking.
It does not come close to the beauty
I see when I look into your eyes.
A midnight sky scattered with thousands
Of silver stars,
Holds Countless hopes and dreams,
But it can not hold all the dreams,
I want to share with you.
A million tomorrows
Would not hold enough time for me to show you
How Thankful I am to have you at my side.
I love you.


Vision

In the pale white light of the moon,
On a night that was full of stars,
I had a vision, a vision of you.
Oh how I prayed for the day not to come,
Least the light break the spell,
My deepest fear was to wake and find that It was a dream.
A memory left from a mind at play.
As dawn broke over the land,
A cold chill ran down my spine.
I could still smell your sweet perfume,
Assuring me that you were here,
As I sat there all alone,
My heart saddened from the emptiness all around,
I wondered if you would return.


To My Beloved

How I love you!
Words get in the way of my bleeding heart.
The love that flows from me would fill the ocean a hundred times.
Being without you, is a fate worse than death.
Your beauty holds me in awe.
You pale the moon in all your splendor.
The look of innocence has never left you.
How can I hope to please the goddess of love?
When I look into your eyes,
I see the burning lust of the beast...
