Who shines in the midnight hour ...

You went on avoiding me, breaking my heart.

... I sailed an olive boat
into the center of the sea

to find a cure for my loose heart
not the spring-back type, noble with elasticity

of grey;
they gather
like sheep,
clustering
overhead;
grazing on blue skies.
And soon...

Because those days were one of the happiest of mine.
But you know what they say, everything good leaves with time....

...Once your pain gets put on display
for the perusal of the world;
a broken heart
devastates dreamers,
as reality sinks in.
Love cannot be granted;
