Unrequited Love

I got the full moon brought down for you, dear The nice flute stood there restlessly ready You didn’t come and all my dreams shook in fear Don’t lose heart, said the reassuring sea I nurtured a sky with whispering rain I had also brought a nice umbrella In blue haze you kept me waiting in vain In shock returned my empty gondola The tipsy wind of spring I still do raise My pocketful of moonlight is in wait When in sunset the sky makes love, I gaze And fill the pink wounds of void you create The light and shade from your window oh dear Are painful pearl drops mingling in my beer ______________________________________________ 30/11/2016
