Sweet Captivity

Sweet Captivity
Form: Cyrch a Cywta

Along the path of love, I trail,
beneath the starlit skies so pale
across the seas, you bid me sail,
for you have found my heart’s detail.
My love for you, I’ll never fail,
as my words oft said in email,
to sing the songs that make you smile,
and all the while love will prevail.

When on the ship I sit and think,
and see your eyes in brightness blink,
as from the chalice we both drink,
the ruby wine as dark as ink.
Your cheeks are flushed with rosy-pink,
the words you say I chant lip sync,
and beg you let me in your heart
and there impart my lover’s link.

My sweetest love I want to be
the girl you need upon your knee
I’m bound in chains from you to me
yet in your arms, I can be free.
For love is sweet captivity,
when you can hear my heart’s decree
as now I am your humbled slave
it’s you I crave to grasp love’s plea
