A SONG FROM MY TOMB

A song from my tomb
Whispers in your ear
Oh romantic poet!
Decipher the magic beneath!

Pain turn to poetry!
With eyes wide open
“Love! Love!” you gallantly chant!
But do you really understand?

I pluck the flower of heart
This yellow flower I’ve before seen!
It follows me
Aren’t they my discarded dreams?

Falling leaves I try to collect
Some still escape and fly away
Some more fall
Why won’t they?

They flitter away
Like some discarded things
Are leaves breaking bonds?
Unable to stay affixed?

“What do you know of love”, you command
“I know all about hearts, say no more”, I demand
I don’t lose faith in love
Just the faith in man!

A song from my tomb
Whispers in your ear
Oh romantic poet!
My song, you’ll never understand!
