Solitary Heart

Solitary Heart
Once in a lonely quiet night
As the stars twinkle in the sky
And the moon crawls to her bed in the sky
There sat a lonesome heart
On a craggy choppy rock
Indulging in reminiscence
Of it lost rib, then the memory
Of her face begun to glow in it room
Like an early morn scintillating sun

Then came a mellifluous chanting
By a sky lark’s warble
Blended with the noble singing of a nightingale’s
As it try to conciliate his soul.

The lonesome heart looks up to the nocturnal birds
On the tree bed
And then said to them
“o fair lovely little birds”
“o fair lovely little birds”
“how delightfully sweet you sing”
They both stared at each other erratically
And the birds made a ciao! ciao! sound
And then flew up afar
Into the bright gloomy sky .
