A Lovers Prayer

As the night sang it's lullaby..the sleepless lover lies awake
Wondering what life means..and how much more he can take
Making sense of his love's words..each word and piece he picked
In the quiet of his heart..he drowned the clock that ticked

Love has no beginning and has no end..to himself he spoke
And then came her eyes like the quiet mist..and he went for broke
As he tossed and turned..all he ever knew is he loved her oh so dearly
But yet those eyes ..those beautiful eyes..saw  through him very clearly

For you can fool a troubled mind..with questions that don't matter
Or you can choose to tell yourself..it will all get better
But who can speak to the beating heart..for it knows only one voice
And loves but once..and often makes one first and final choice


As the lover prays..to the listening night..he says only sincerely
I love her with one heart..that never reasoned..and one mind that never listened...
