O'Deary
Yet thou weep gently into the night
Angels cleanse thine cheeks stained with tears
Which glisten upon enchanted stars
Glowing of promise, they sound thy ears
"O'Deary Caroline", vibrates mine breath
As fumes of defeat express yearning love,
Her image will only grow vivid,
Of her frail hand grasped tight,
"Forever? My Deary Caroline ?" - I vowed
As simplicity shone through her eyes
Life became still, humming birds fluttered,
The promise of forever vibrated of lies
As the heavens fell out of the skies,
"O Deary Caroline ! Where have you gone ?! "
"Dost thine voice hymn with angels ?!"
And the clouds shifted to reveal the dawn
Which shone through my heart; a light of spear,
Piercing as thou figure grew faint
Of a faded shadow which glowed of a luscious dress,
O'thee familiar smell of delicate saint
"Will thee renounce my heart ?!" - pondered my soul
As too I shift beneath mine souls to rejoice,
Thine flavour of treasures - tainting thine lips
As though I hear once more thine lost voice,
To and fro - I implore do disrupt the night,
I do'th only sleep upon thy soothing touch
For this stone must be softened before cracking,
But I soaked and croaked - "I did love you much"
In faith thou emerged from the dark
Then melodies whispered; of holy bright,
As glowed the path of angels
To carry you gently into the night
