The poem that never returned
November 20, 2025Should I hold it by the hem?
And join it together with my prickling pen
What should I name this creation?
Or should I just call it nameless?
And let it drown before its naming
It was created out of my feelings for you…
Butterflies in my stomach strung up together
To form the perfect poem of love
Like the tides on a stormy sea at night
My heart heaved up and down
As I await your reply
Cupid's eyes were red with envy
He was quite angry that I fell in love
Without his involvement
I stood up on the high mountain,
Stood at the entrance of caverns of old
Waiting for the messenger birds to return
I gave reasoning a cold slap
And gave common sense the middle finger
As I jumped into the ocean of love
But the storm has calmed
And I am lonely at the mountain top
Yet to receive your reply
So should I use the butcher's knife?
Or puncture it with flaming arrows?
And watch my feelings go down like a warrior
Should I name it at all
Or just call it a lost sheep?
The poem that never returned.
