He comes in like a buccaneer, tip-toed

into her life, conquering her dreams

adding his own sweet hues and mystifying music

to her silence, deadly and intrepid

She wonders how each thought of his

gives her joy and brings that long lost smile back so oft

she marvels at love - the joy it fills in her heart

every moment that she spends with him

and as she wonders, is he her prince

who sought her after so long?

When her dreams are diminishing

Her beauty fading in the rising dusk

Hopes languished and desires weakened

As her spirit espies a living death each moment

She wonders if she deserves such happiness?

Or is this destiny's next cruel ploy?
