love, you left my heart

i ask my heart

…why comes your pain

…you make mine eyes tear

…my breath is quicken

…my soul despair?

…pangs from waning love

…seeing lonely and uncaring

…the air is poisoned not of soot

…the chime of hope disappeared?

i ask from Love

…where have you gone

…is there no one to share

…has your spirit left my heart

…are you no longer one?

in the reveries of days

   the wind blows briskly by

       i watch the blackbirds fly

          the white cottons kiss the sky

             my dreams ask the question why

and so, bathed in sadness, i wait
