An Unwritten Love Song

I wanted to write a love song

I wanted to light a flame

And see it spread its glowing flicker

And to Love make its claim

In the far corner of the room

I wished to see, the festive band

Serenading her into ecstasy

As he tenderly held her trembling hand

I almost saw his look as he poured

His heart out along with the soul

Her fingers entwined in his

As if she had finally reached her goal

In her wavering shy eyes I perhaps

Saw her silently battle with need

Waging a losing war within

Knowing just where it would lead

But the words and the mood

Remain trapped in me today

And as sensuality lies prisoner

Aloneness ruled my night and day
