The Sky, the Tree and the House

A man and woman Lived side to side A tree and English house A pen is found on former’s hand That knows no fetterings His tales are based on happiness A simple life with a tree While all the while the woman sighs The binds of residency She brings her ladder down to him Slowly down the tree To invite him into her bleak And somehow make him stay The scarcity of the man’s life it seems To be her serenity And sadly so, she is declined By the man who bears her love A tear then falls to the saddened house Accentuating the depression A drop, five drops and a shower As the skies sang with her sadness The sky that longed the woman’s touch Has decided how he could love her The hardened tree falls at the man In solemnity he was crushed To which befalls the irony Her then desire was to be gone Two bodies felled to the silent ground The woman and the man’s An oak that fell at storm’s command A crime of love it seems Love lost, unreturned and forever gone Longings torn from the hearts
