Analysis of How lovely the girl
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
In an alcave deep behind your eyes
your spiritual essence defies belief in its own storytale shine.
And I fall in the loveliness of your heartbeat.
As you sing so softly you bring joy to a smile that for a long, long while was dormant, forgetful untrusting; engyled.
I thank you petol on the winds of this earth for the loveliness in your face.
So graceful you move me to lighten my embrace.
Sweeter than concern your empathy so traced.
In my dreams i'm enlightened indepthly in your kindly haist.
