How thy sweetness fell from these lips In the temptation of desire The ever want of more and more To quench this obsessions fire Thy face paints a picture of activity The hidden clue it held within Fragrance filled the air on opening The shortbread in the biscuit tin I cannot but feel shame for times When in two I held thee tight To dunk is but a measure wrong That crumbled thee out of sight And what for the memories of touch The soft caress of thy taste In secluded moments with closed eyes To thee I rushed in haste Now, Tis but memories in sorrow For devotion lost its way In forgetfulness, in taking for granted Hath brought loss this day Life falls to the shadows of darkness Lost in thoughts craved Behind eyes is the pain of regret Thy crumbs could not be saved.
