Contest of my love
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
If I could ask your soul
for just one kiss
their grace would charm me
with the softness of your lips
You hold my love captive
Within your eyes
My heart pounds so hard
stars shoot across the skies
The face of true love shines from deep within you
When our eyes begin to cry
the earth shakes to ask us why
we encapsulate forever
Our minds hide within loves echoes
Their sweet perfection ever first
Our bodies warm within each verse
