You

I never thought I would see you

Not even in my wildest of dreams

But there you were, next to my bed

All we had was love to trade

With our minds freed, unchained

You were never to leave

And neither was I

Then there came the sun

You vanished with its scorching light

Leaving your imagery in my eyes

For then I knew, you were not there

Sub-consciously my mind had pondered

To find you, let alone in the dream, it had wondered

 

I have become a pathetic scumbag

For I see you everywhere

On every angel’s face, I paint you

Their long flaxen hair brings back the memories

Of you telling me how it was to fall in a lump

Their beautiful, kohl eyes, when I see; my heart cries

Bemused they laugh, for they think I am pulling their legs

 

When we cuddled the first night we met

Our fingers intertwined, we vowed

How would we make each other smile?

Until the day, one would die

I pity we didn’t vow; not to cry

When one would die,

 

Oh greedy mighty nature, if I were to cut you down

I would, into pieces, into lumps like her hair fell down

For you make me cry, every day I wake up

On the bed, you bring the transient her

And you take her away with you in the daylight

Leaving me in the twilight

Next time you visit dear

Intertwine your fingers to mine

Take me with you, for you are the poison to my smile

An accomplice to my languishing life.
