FOR U

IF I SHOULD SAY

LIFE HAD NO COLOUR

BEFORE U CAME.

HOW ROSY THAT WOULD SOUND,

TINGED WITH THE PINK OF LOVE.

OR,IF I SHOULD SAY

LIFE WOULD NO MUSIC

BEFORE U CAME,

HOW MELODIOUS MY WORDS WOULD BE.

SINGING IN THE TUNE OF LOVE.

I COULD EVEN SAY,

BEFORE U CAME,

LIFE WAS DEVOID OF MEANING,

HOW WEIGHTY MY WORDS WOULD SOUND THEN,

LOADED WITH THE PROTENT OF LOVE,

SOFT SENTIMENTS,

PRETLY WORDS.

SO FITTING FOR THIS DAY

IF ONLY I COULD SAY

THESE LOVELY UNTRUTHS.

BUT U,MY LOVE

ARE MADE FOR THE BARE FACTS

UNTRIMMED WITH SWEET LIES.

SO I SHALL SAY

BEFORE U CAME ,

I HAD FILLED MY LONELY HOURS

WITH MEANINGS,COLOUR AND SONG,

BEATING MY WINGS,

IN A LONELY SKY OF FREEDOM.

WHEN U CAME

I FOUND MY SKY LARGE ENOUGH FOR TWO OF US,

MY COLOURS INTERWOVE

TO FORM A TAPESTRY DEVINE.

I SANG MY SONG

TO A MILLION ORCHESTRA,

ALL MEANINGS ASSUMED LAYERS,

TOO DEEP FOR MANKIND TO FATHOM.

I GAVE U MY PAIN

MY HYSTERICS AND RAGE,

AND RECIEVED IN RETURN

A SKYFUL OF JOY.
