ONCE UPON A LOVE:

Once upon a long time, I had a special love,

Of those that come just once & never more,

Destiny, fate, & sent from the heaven above,

I knew at once, when you walked in the door.

As though we had invented love & so we lived,

Separated from the whole world, just us two,

Separated from one & all, we had been sieved,

You left, the sun departed & my life turned blue.

I buried you beneath a tomb of old cold tears,

Mantle of your caresses, now no longer warm,

Winds carried your voice away beyond my ears,

Your kisses washed away on unforgiving storms.

Once upon a long love, there was a special time,

And now you´ve gone & we´ve been torn apart,

Once we touched, bodies, minds, souls entwined,

Now, just a welcome mat at the door of my heart.
