Thoughts of love

Regene hamilton 1999 (Jamaica)



Happy is the soul whenever the birds sing
dancing on the clouds although the fall would surely sting.

living on high to the heavens I would rise
lost in this bliss as your presence draweth nigh.

Long have I waited to feel your gentle kiss
lost in your love that I always seem to miss.

love it is so bitter for it always runs away
in the arms of another, it's settled in bright arrays.

Maybe I was looking in all the right place
but the person that was there was not the person I should have faced.

Maybe I was wrong for sleeping on these lies
that's why I decided to take a stand as I spread my wings and fly,
far from your love that was so toxic and so sweet
I gave it all up even these secrets between the sheets.
