love’s lost lament
when the lovers’ moon has set, no lantern can replace it
~
no affection, love is gone,
my life is hard and unholy
like all good men and true
I’ve had to pledge my soul
for if not for love and honour
then what else is right and whole?

her harbour light kept me safe
only for love’s light
The lighthouse stands, sending out hope through the night.
solitary in my loneliest phare
I dream of a wondrous lady fair
spending long nights missing her
she is my leading light a beacon far
romance in a long-distance love affair
charm, glamour, exotic mystique, amour
true love echoes the sea’s perpetual thunder

get a cool lighthouse calendar
Harbour Lights
Static personal perception of light and dark
Have lying secrets to remark
Confidences kept hidden from sight
Of harbour lights after midnight
Perfect magical luminous at the near horizon
Star bright shines the winter skyline
And I miss her still
