The Boy and the Girl


The bees to the flowers
The ants to the colony
Termites to the wood
The boy to his girl

As the ants burrow in the hill
Wolves in a cave
And the worms in the dirt 
The girls heart is embedded
Into her lovers chest 

For she loves her 
as the boy loved the girl
The geese leave there home
When the summer comes round

Though, no summer would come
To mark the migration of her love
Left without a flap of wings
Or, perhaps, the boy ignored
The flight all along

The strength of the light
That inundates the lands
It is to rise upon

To was the sorrow the boy felt
When the girl sought to be happy
But he too was blinded 

The boy who couldn’t connect
With the girl he once held
Blame to be pinned on he
But only too late
For she was gone
And the boy was 
Alone
