A Poet's Story

07/04/00

              Once upon a summer night
              A lone star shines its radiant light
              underneath the vast dark sky
              a man gazes at the star and sighs
              He closes his eyes and there he prays
              but his prayer hasn't been answered to this day
              He often asks himself why
              the girls he loved had all said good-bye
              A lonely cry that echoes in vain
              for no one knows of his heartaches and pain
              Why does he loves
              and continues to wait for his white Dove
              Why not settle for a Sparrow or Pigeon
              Why mingle with birds of another region?
              His dogmatic heart will not let go
              Why love white Doves only he knows
              He once found love but set her free
              Two locks with no keys weren't meant to be
              Her insensitivity cannot be blamed
              for her heart he failed to tame
              Yet another summer creeps upon time
              but these heartaches and scars he cannot sublime
              He feels tranquil yet lonesome when it rains
              for unrequited love is too painful to sustain.
