This one is "Bodice Ripper", it tells the archetypal love story.
I particularly like the chord progression, and some of the melodic motifs.
I wrote it origanally as a song, so if any celtic-style vocalists want to record it, let me know.
The gender of the narative can easily be adjusted for a female vocalist.

The Tryst

A shipwreck survivor
I wash to these shores,
Just a hapless soldier,
Weary from the wars.
With mercy, they take me in,
That I might be restored,
Yet my thankless heart still wants for more.

She comes like an angel,
Bearing a tray,
Oh lady
Bide awhile, I pray.
Smiling she wipes my brow,
And jests about it all,
Into that moment we both fall…

We tryst like thieves in the dead of night,
Fearing the break of day,
We kiss and swoon into delight,
And then we must be away…
Hush now Love, let fate be kind,
Hasten now, don’t look behind.

Alone and in darkness she comes in disguise,
Oh lady,
I recognise those eyes.
Caught in a breathless trap
Whilst men seek us as prey,
Hurry now for we must be away.

We flee like thieves in the dead of night
Fearing the break of day,
One kiss, one swoon into delight,
Now there is a price to pay.

I will return, should fate kind,
Hasten now, don’t look behind….

Hello, Freind. Thank you for visiting my page.
**All compositions are original, and free of A.I.**
 As musicians we crave to be heard, to be seen, to share with another some of the joy we take in our creating. In fact our music does not really "exist" until it has evoked a response from another.  Indeed to be a human is to live with the need to be seen and responded to.
But this is world where we are distracted and drowning in content; constantly being pulled at by the algorithms competing for our attention. A world where " everybody's talking and no one's being heard" (John Lennon).
So your human attention has become a scarce and valuable thing. A commodity that is being mined.
So I really do appreciate that you have taken the time to visit my page, and listen to my offerings. Thank you.
 I welcome your comments, your feedback, your friendship. I will visit you in return.
