The moon that night
was a shade more dark
In those deep blue eyes
an emotion stark
Lurking in the abyss of despair
that night had almost lost its spark..
The hearts that
loved and longed forever
in love and trust
their nest aflutter
veiled in a misty gust of black
the whirlwind came
and toppled it over..
A pair of eyes
it loved so much
A song that filled
its heart with mirth
Was no more warmth
Just a numbing chill
A haunted tune
And a frightening shrill…
the lark that once sang
tunes of joy
lost its glory
in sheer dismay
the pearls of sorrow
all wound together
a shackle that bound
its wings away
the night had passed
and so had the storm
with renewed dreams
came the scarlet sun
chirping with joy
and a loving heart
to take its love on a
fresh new start
with a broken wing
it could not now soar
hearts mend but scars
still green and sore
the lark could only
ask in despair
why love had always
to be so unfair??
Its friend its mate
Still awaits..
With open wings at the
Golden gate
From where
Starts a flight to heaven
Far from mistrust and hate…
