Yours
by Daniel Hoffman

I am yours as the summer air at evening is
Possessed by the scent of linden blossoms,

On The Death Of The Beloved
by John O'Donohue

Though we need to weep your loss,
You dwell in that safe place in our hearts,

Brightening over our lives
Awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of colour.

The sound of your voice

The Asra
by Heinrich Heine

Every day so lovely, shining,
up and down, the Sultan’s daughter
walked at evening by the water,
where the white fountain splashes.

by the water, in the evening,
where the white fountain splashes,
each day growing pale and paler.

you are not my cure,

nobody has that

You are far
by Omar Chohan

You are far, yet so very near
A part of my soul you are forever, my dear

In my heart, in my dreams all the time
I see your face in places, where I normally don’t stare

Your sweet voice echoes through my ears
Like that of a nightingale when there is spring

Your eyes doth shine bright
