Once Upon a Time When I Thought You Were Mine

You were so handsome
that the low ceiling of the sky
it rose only to lighten
  the world for you...
The cows mooed sweet chants
to show off your friends...t
The birds in the trees
performed the most beautiful chirps
in your honor...
The street dogs barked
in unison happiness
when they saw saw you
  and swayed
the tails with
refined technique...
All because you were wonderful...
I also included myself that all
I offered it to you...
perform in my mind
extraordinary feats
in worship to you...
All because I thought that
you were mine... but you weren't... !
Today far away where are you?
castled, I know that still
your beauty makes that
everything be as before...
But not for me... because I know
that you are not mine!
