Despite all the promises made
Of never leaving the other
To him a farewell she bade
For her, he was just another
With his desire torn and ground
And a heart like crusted earth
He chose to listen to the sound
Of his whims for what it’s worth
Beside a blooming clover’s toe
Now patiently he waits
Eyes full of jilted lover’s woe
And fenced in memories’ gates
With purplish oceans of belief
A flower he softly holds
Hoping to heave sighs of relief
As love in time unfolds
But as the tides of seasons ebb
And strength begins to fray
In his mind, grows a thin cobweb
Of dreams and faces gray
