A sunset glows of ruby red, through trees of emerald green, The sapphire blue of water emits a dazzling sheen. All this glory warms the soul and my love will wake enhanced Like a fairy queen in a restless field, of music where she danced. I long to enter the world of dreams to feel this needed love But guidance to the special world comes from up above. Springtime turns to summer when dandelions will reign, The golden twists controlled by wind help ease my daily pain. They say that love can torture they say that it can die, And so I fear the fractured land where lovers sit and cry. I wait here on the outside, seeing colours in my soul And pray a love that’s safe and mild will come and make me whole. Eyes of brown will haunt my dreams as I wake in tragic heat Perhaps the eyes are memories or someone I will meet. My patience plays at evil games in my saddened mind I fear that love’s a treasure this lonely man won’t find.
