A Dream Died a Dreadful Death

Lightning and thunder did clash In ventricles within my heart Vying whether to lash At every part That feels emotions In hearts of dames Whose love motions and portions Laid claims To the indifference my heart felt When Hazel Fidelia ended our engagement In July nineteen seventy seven to melt The betrothal arrangement I thought made in Heaven Until my polychrome World came undone In a moment of total madness and sadness whose home I ransacked painting all women black Cos their kind acted irrationally in spirit As Fidelia in a rubbish pack Dumped the love writ We’d so carefully crafted over several years spanning back to college Days where I first spied the svelte gazelle I desired in marriage But of course a spell Cast by an invisible hand Made sure I ate humble pie Of the most humiliating brand Giving my heart no space to sigh as though I was condemned alive to die Humiliated Empty handed Denunciated Loveless landed Fearing for the heart torn into Whose emotional system though frail Determined to go on without breaking into two Or going off the love rail Or separating body from mind In a scenario thrown into disarray Wondering if as legend has it love truly blind couldn’t find Room in my aching heart to shine a beam of limpid light without further delay.
