I stopped myself a thousand times
But my heart would stop not
I tried to hear the soft sweet birds
But my ears would strain for chords long heard
I tried to bind my hair unruly
But it struggled out in vain
For the touch so sweet and warm
For the toss so soft and loving
I tried to pat myself to sleep
But sleep came not, for it missed the gentle caress
And a snug cozy snore
This body is numb to me
For your soft sensual touch lingers
Like the lasting essence of a rose long withered
I am no more mine
Coz my mind has surrendered
To a sweet pain, the one they call love.
