Analysis of Searching.

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



I keep you in the corner of my minds eye.
Searching for you as the clocks tick by.
Where did you go; to what place I know?

My empty heart feels nothing and weeps as yours pulsates on a sleepy daydream...
keeps on calling to me from muted ears.
Who looks after it now; whom holds back its fears?

I do miss your caress, alas, untold your path still crosses my open chest.
Forever it speaks, entwined with the devine essence of your breath, on me.

And we were where it used to frequent so happily;
in spinning dancers arms floating up above your perfect stance.
Enchanting me to your delicate glance.

Again to be mine in whirlwind romance,
fresh from distances of untold harms.
Take hold of my form and I yours as one adores and is adored once more I tour your outstretched arms and our flights are grounded by this lost kiss now found and blessed
