A Thousand Ships and more I have seen you filled with loneliness When your heart has known despair, When my own has reached to touch you - To tell you that I care. I've seen the awesome beauty Of a night sky filled with jewels, Bright stars of stunning brilliance Forming necklaces of pearls. I've gazed in awe at sunsets When the sky is filled with fire, And smelled the scent of roses As their perfumes speak desire. We learn that Helen's face Once launched a thousand ships to sea, Yet I know that yours would sail them all And launch ships endlessly. I've imagined that in heaven Angels dwell in every space, Yet why should I seek angels When I can gaze upon your face? I've ached to hold you tenderly And kiss your tears away, To fill your life with love and joy Each and every day. I've finally learned what love is, and Shaken off past lies, For I've found love's sweet surrender In the sparkle of your eyes.. 2000 View My Guestbook Sign My Guestbook |
