I yearn for the tranquility,
A moment of calm and serenity.
I desire for the inner peace,
And gladly don the unruffled fleece.
Yet when I saw one so lovely,
Life fare no longer simply,
The temptress of love is here,
She beckons me near,
"Be not afraid, be not shy"
She laughs with a battered eye.
"Stay not away, here come closer"
I hear her sing, in her gentle whisper.
I dare not broach, my memories serves well,
Nearing her have left much pain to dwell.
Love is a mistress of the brave,
To embrace her, a life you gave.
Courage ere fails me, cowardice takes over,
Oft leaves me bewildered; a forlorn lover.
Again I am besotted with the romance song,
This time I shan't tinkle too long.
I pledge courage, to hold her fast,
I hope for once, this hug will last.
For too oft, away she is spirited,
Ere we got scarcely acquainted.
How it will be, I know not,
But tranquil and peace, I have forgot.
