WHEN DARLING

When the birds sing – will you complain?

When did a heart feel its first pain?

When did the roses drink sweet rain?

When do you have a need to blame?

 

          When did you look into my eyes?

          When did you remember how to despise?

          When was your virginity compromised?

          When did your heart first realize?

 

When did love first knock on your door?

When did your feet slide on a wooden floor?

When did your heart say it needed more?

When did you first see an Eagle first soar?

 

          When will you let me into your mind?

          When darling, are you going to be mine?
