Found and lost love. Goodbye Sunshine. |
Lost Sunshine The comely Princess paced the stone castle floor Having it all, but yearning deep inside For something more Dreaming of romance, fantasies of ardor A handsome, and noble prince perhaps From some exotic shore So I came and swept her from her castle confines Took her to me with kisses dripping honey Entwined in passion as a tree among the vines We built our home in the shade of the glen Planting and farming the rolling land Joy upon joy, I was the happiest of men The comely princess paced the wooden cottage floor Having it all but yearning deep inside For something more Scheming of adventure, fantasies ,and flirtation Lusting for intrigue to spice her dreary days effecting my heart to become uncertain What had become of my daybreak, my sunshine The spring in my step, the hope in my eye My dear princess of honey and wine. I would give her my all, offer up my humble life I would lie at Hell’s door at her bequest To take away all pain and strife But lo, a traveling minstrel with flowery tongue Telling stories of travel, and quests unending Enamored my young wife and off they did run The sun did set, the colors all gone turbid and gray My mind muddled filled with confusion Ever since my sunshine went away The fields went bare, the livestock died away The cottage rotting slowly year by year Leaving me to face the coming day The graying, bent man walked the wooden floor Dreaming of a past filled with hope and joy Having nothing and wanting nothing more ........................................nothing more |
