I'M NOT HAPPY

My heart was a vessel

Hungry for a morsel

My soul was cold

As dreams of the old

My cries were null

As tears of a water-fall…..

 Then all was history

Your love my story

…But now I’m unhappy…

 Because you’re away…..

On that May,

 On that day,

 Amidst blink-less eyes,

 Witnessing our love-lit fires

  Our fingers were lifted

  Blessed rings fitted

  Sweet vows exchanged

  No longer engaged…

  Our union was merry

 …..But now I’m unhappy…

  Because you are away…

 Last time you came….

  My happiness I couldn’t name!

  Our boy on your arm

  Your smile was charm

  We kissed and hugged

  Sad moments were mugged!

  Your presence, sweet flowers!

  Our laughers, hot showers!

  ……But now I’m unhappy…

   ……Because you are away…

What is it in the heart that great minds cannot read?

What is it in the minds that great hearts cannot heed?

 My soul coldly burns thy memories closer

 I reach for my phone with the zeal of a grocer

 Your voice so real …touches me to the bone

 The background so a live my pains all gone

 But the line goes dead….. All time is spent

 I lie on bed, sadly coiled like a serpent

  Another time has come… for my long lonely night

  YES, I’M UNHAPPY…

  …..BECAUSE YOU ARE AWAY
