Lost without you (1996)

Nick Rhodes

Free verse
when i was lost
upon this ship
i now travel
lost suddenly
on a calm night
under a night sky
so filled with stars
it lighted my way
i closed my eyes
and drempt of you
beautiful and pale
so soft and sweet
with no one to compare
you came to me
on a beach
under a night sky
with moon full
walking towards me
the waves crashing
was all i heard
the salt air
is all i smelled
and the beauty that is you
is all i saw
your kiss upon my lips
is all i felt
i now know
happiness does not
exist without you
for you are the thing
that dreams are made of...
