LYRIC FOR SALE

By Richard M Moss MD

I betrayed you with my eyes,
But never with my heart.
I am a fool.
To hold you is an art.

I gave my soul to your lips,
And your eyes of sorrow.
Can I mend my ways,
Forever lost to your arrow.

I gazed too long at the sun,
Now I long for your arms.
Your beauty defied the laws,
I am a slave to your charms.

An eternity of loves,
Is defined by your gaze.
Rapture is a song,
To be a fool is not praise.

I gave my soul to your lips,
And your eyes of sorrow.
Can I mend my ways,
Forever lost to your arrow.

I am captured by your kiss,
And awed by your light.
Such beauty cannot stand,
May I be your knight?

But no song will overcome,
Smiles and tears, I have come to know.
If you refuse my longing,
Misery, I shall only grow.

I gave my soul to your lips,
And your eyes of sorrow.
Can I mend my ways,
Forever lost to your arrow.

Jealousy is a curse,
The sky will not bend.
Am I on the edge of time?
I do not wish to be your friend.

Mystery defines such magic,
I am prisoner of passion.
You have cast me asunder,
And closed the gates of your mansion.
Love lost is agony,
I engage your portrait with caution.
I stand on the edge of misery,
And cling to your memory.

I gave my soul to your lips,
And your eyes of sorrow.
Can I mend my ways,
Forever lost to your arrow.
