HEART'S DESIRE (c) By Polly Guerin
Let’s go to the land of our heart’s desire
Where the sweetness of life sets us on fire
There find safe harbor for fondest dreams
What need for you to care for schemes?
Come away with me oh foolish child
To the winter of our life and be so mild
I’ll kiss your lips and hold your legendary hand
For time is fleeting, do you not understand?
There’s not much more time for lingering on
Love’s sweet song is not in the abyss, beyond
Don’t let love pass with a goodbye glance
For now I’m saddened with circumstance
Oh come away with me my foolish child
With the fairy hand in hand we will glide
And mend all the broken heart’s weeping
And dance the magic of love before sleeping.

Wonderful rhyme and imagery. It reminds me of Robert Louis Stevenson's poetry.
