Denise, I loved you from the start,
Believing we were worlds apart
I gave a human all my heart
Knew not we shared the mirror’s art
Denise, my love, my soul’s delight
My friend, my partner in the night
I’d love to share your graceful flight
Your wings, your beauty – awesome sight!
Denise, my life, what wondrous fate
That we should meet, and love, and mate
You’ve brought me to a wondrous state –
No other can my hunger sate
Denise, my lover, never leave
My heart would break, I’d ever grieve
Such happiness I’d not achieve
With any other – Never leave!
Francis James Franklin (Alina Meridon)
