Beau Sabreur
Charles Edward York 1966 (Saigon, Vietnam)
Beau Sabreur
My impetuous heart aches for another
A companion to share my stride
Injury however has calmed me down
To slow down the raging tide.
A lover in lust with passionate pace
Eager to close with my relation
Serves as a warning to be informed
And take my time in the situation.
The string of too many bad endings
Writes a cautionary tale well read
The beau sabreur I once portrayed
Crusades alone on guard instead.
Love for now is my solitary flower
Blooming in my garden alone
For I wish to care for myself first
Before I dare to share my home.
Time has come one day to find
The speed of love goes slow
My heart’s too big and precious
To repeat the pain I know.
Yes, my heart may beat for another
Till then my spirit must endeavor
Save my soul for Heaven and wait
For a love that lasts forever.
