Poem

Oh Caroline! Caroline
My heart never ceased to beat
tears continue to trickle down my cheeks
And  my lips still quiver,
Tremble at the mention of you
I reach out to you

Hold my hand, please!
Don't shut me out again
In all these months apart
I still feel faint, 
tormented by memories of us
What did I ever do to you?

Caroline!
Rivers have since dried up
Heavens weep no more
No more do torrents pour forth
Yet my heart continues to bleed
My eyes still seek you

Amidst the tall kukiwu grass
Deep in the narrow gorges 
My heart longs for yours
Once we were kindred spirits
Mine hopes for your beat
But you're quiet!

Your silence is deafening
Echoing unsang taunts
Over and over in my head
My ears are shut to your shouts
My eyes are open but can't see
I search in vain.

Caroline please!
The dust has long settled,
Birds have left their nests,
Flowers have since bloomed
And this heat still torments my lonely heart
Yet you stay away.

I'm stuck in a dark rut
Dug down a sink of old memories
I wallow in lost pastimes
And converse only of ancient fights
What use are these now,
When you shout alone, in your abyss?

We are burdened
Worn out by the moss gathered mid way
Our minds are darkened by grief
Our hearts are heavy with weary
Dread drapes her claws around us.
Oh Caroline! I'm lost for words.

My tongue stutters, my lips dry
I'm afraid,
I fear when you do come
Like the seasons, I'll be gone
Return Caroline!
Or we shall forever be lost in regret.
