Life's Tender-sweet~

You lie in slumber

In blissful oblivion

Quite unaware

Of my tender-sweet thought

But I want to tell

In spite of the ocean

Of moments between us

‘I love you

A lot’

Time is a teacher

Of life’s love-wrought lessons

Sometimes I would

Slip away from it all

Just to return

For one beautiful hour

Back to the day

Before summer

Was fall

We cannot alter

One mite of a moment

Here in the deep purple

Quiet I know

Love is a beautiful

Tender-sweet torment

Of holding close

Before

Letting go
