HE AND SHE

She came to him wide eyed

Seeking nothing in return

But just the understanding

Of how often she'd been burned

Burned by those she would only love

Who wronged her from the start

He looked at her in wonder

And offered his poet's heart

He is her inspiration

Her reason to love again

He reads the words to him she writes

And answers her with his pen

She sings her songs of love rejoice

For so long she sang the blues

But now she sings of happier days

Since she's found her heart renewed

                     Hers

He touched her heart with every word

his verse, her heartbeat, softly heard

echoes, haunts and longing still

to know his love, yet unfulfilled.

To hold him to her breast once more

to dream the dream, forevermore

lovers lost to raging seas

restless spirits, unappeased.

They pass each other time to time

heartbeats thunder, hers and mine

he her knight and she became

his cause to live and love again.

She'll read his verse and wonder still

for whom he writes, for whom he quills

his rendered verse, impassioned words

he pens will always, be for her.....
