Fickle Lover!

The gold dust settles
Amongst the fragrant petals
Emerging in the dark
Is a heart that’s stark
But you don’t wanna do a thing
Coz fickle Lover….you just don’t know how to cling!

The sand on the beach
Is as clear as a peach
Little dunes moulding dreams
Caring hands patting themes
But you don’t wanna do a thing
Coz fickle lover…you just don’t know how to zing!

In the middle of the night
You get up restless and tight
You yearn for the touch
So very much
But you can’t seem to share your thoughts
Coz fickle lover…your ego’s up in knots

The summers we spent
With a romantic bent
Splashing in the lake
Nothing seemed fake
And then you made new friends
Your absence made amends
Of working hard in life
To manage an upkeep of a wife
But fickle lover….you forgot the rules of life!

And now that I’m gone
You sit and fawn
At our pictures together
Tickling desires with a feather
That which we had painstakingly built
And raised on a stilt
At the altar of cupid
Now sounds very stupid
You drove me away
Turning my heart into clay
Coz fickle lover….your love just went astray!

(This piece is inspired by a movie I recently saw on Hallmark).
