Swept Away

Subtle moments here and there

a million dollar smile

So absolutely beautiful

I watched you for awhile

A poet in the league of stars

I loved your writing style

A hundred poems from your soul

but never were compiled

The moments that I spent with you

most precious to my soul

So caught up in the ecstasy

and soon I lost control

Was swept away on tidal waves

and soon far out to sea

A broken compass in my hand

and no one there with me

In time I found my way back home

but not without the scars
I swore I'd never love again
nor look up at the stars
