Is a fading thought forever lost,<\/span><\/p>\n

Did it diminish like window frost,<\/span><\/p>\n

Return to me my thought please,<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it lost into air like my last sneeze,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let it return, I know it was of you,<\/span><\/p>\n

At last the muse has returned anew,<\/span><\/p>\n

Bring in the cello now played low,<\/span><\/p>\n

Hear angels harps play notes in flow,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your silken gown encapsulates your soul,<\/span><\/p>\n

To follow the curves shown I’ll pay the toll,<\/span><\/p>\n

Step forward then back and two right,<\/span><\/p>\n

Close, oh so close to press you slight,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let me waltz into the dreams I dreamed,<\/span><\/p>\n

In your arms it’s not as bad as it seemed,<\/span><\/p>\n

I worry, oh I worry so even when it’s right,<\/span><\/p>\n

The distance of your mind may be slight,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh, it’s my fault, I have nothing left,<\/span><\/p>\n

No longer am I as spry or am I deft,<\/span><\/p>\n

Improvisation breaks my heart to see,<\/span><\/p>\n

The reflecting man of war I see isn’t me,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An angel held in my arms may fly way,<\/span><\/p>\n

So desperate is my plea that she will stay,<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t see me my angel but see deep within,<\/span><\/p>\n

Once I was beautiful before war’s bloody sin,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Patti, can you see any good inside of me,<\/span><\/p>\n

Each man took aim before his tragedy,<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve tried to pull you close in my dreams,<\/span><\/p>\n

Bloods lube removes my strength it seems,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your eyes find disgust in what I have done,<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet you continue to say I’m number one,<\/span><\/p>\n

A little more or a little less should I confess,<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’ve forgiven what I’ve done is it less,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The frost covered glass is fading fast,<\/span><\/p>\n

Does it mean once gone the dye is cast,<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll surround you with roses and sing to you,<\/span><\/p>\n

Rose petals ground for oil I will do too,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thunder has erupted inside my heart for you,<\/span><\/p>\n

I love you so much I worry if you knew,<\/span><\/p>\n

The sweet smell of heaven is your smell,<\/span><\/p>\n

It is the elixir, I swear, the taste as when I fell,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Into her hands I give the gold I don’t own,<\/span><\/p>\n

But I will give her the love she hasn’t been shown,<\/span><\/p>\n

Listen, sweet angel, you are someone to hold,<\/span><\/p>\n

I can’t give it to you when you are the gold.<\/span><\/p>\n
