7 Am
and I feel awakened
from this dream...
7 am, I feel startled, alone, inhibited -
I want to scream !!
&
Shout to Zeus and Hera
"this heir we no longer share"
a bloodclot of feelings through
these veins, this heart which
still wants You
my
Kinshala Blue...
but please don't get me wrong
for I'll keep singing yr song
inside my daisied head
where black sparrows now have fed...
for
I sense impending ending
before there was beginning
and question my own ability
to govern love to thee
my Kinshala, Blue, I'll be...
almost better to not have seen
yr eyes and ears between
those dimples 'round yr face
your memory never to erase...
but recall as someone true
whom I've loved but under-grew
with bitter barbs to regret
till some uncertain future's set...
which I still hope for
(but am now crying)
I can't stop the world
(or stop trying)
for at least I've finally met
My Kinshala dream - a Gift
(most don't even get):
to touch their Other hand
till we return once more
to sand....
-------------------------------------------
Can't stop writing
(and won't)...
cause I've spun a final tear
to this sad life I've wrote
for now on In,
Kinshala - who
I hoped to join
in love so true
Kinshala Blue:
can't pine for You
Can't burn or smolder
till we get older...
cause from what I've learned
from this harsh world
is that the sun don't rise and set
for just one girl...
and I hate to be so blunt
but I might just end this hunt
for Love and I just seem to miss
like cupid's arrow inside a kiss...
and one last verse
I'll add, in hope to reverse
my seemingly
unending curse:
please remember me
as one who was gentle, with truth to see
and please Kinshala, please lend to me
the answer of the Master Key
so that I might One Day
attempt to free
the One True Love
that has eluded Me...
