A Miniscule Daydream

The occurrence of a phase in the life of a teenager sitting permanently in his mind.

Once upon a time
There was a stupid guy
Looking for love
With eyes quite shy.

Saw a girl 'too pretty'
With his grey-brown eyes
Brain played a Melody
-- "Oh gosh, she's nice!".

The boy was cheered, his heart cleared
Merrily did he drop
Below the brows, above the chin
A smile appeared on top.

At once they talked, made a cross
Shared a bond in two
As the boy too kind, the girl too naive
Forgot, she is clever too.

He made her a princess
Called her his own
"She is the dearest" quoth he
Didn't foresee when he'll mourn.

Told her "you're gorgeous,
You can do wonders
Would shield you till I die
To storms and thunders".

Then came one guy
With a heart too bold
-- "to my heart too soft,
I became too old".

He stole her away to the ends of Oz
Brought him depths of darkness
He saw her laugh and a smile too broad
It took it away, his happiness.

Again and again every day
Till he cried from dusk to dawn
Their lips grinning, his eyes watering,
He called her awn and awn and awn.

Until one day, he left it all
Had no one but 'she'
Her regrets, his depression,
"My love was pure" quoth he.

Once, upon a time
There was a stupid guy
Walked heartless and betrayed
Hid his eyes, quite shy!

Said no word
But walked briskly
Till he looked at god
--"Isn't this lovely?"

[Laura READS]

A heart touching poem for those who really understand it. You’ve given your own touch with a mixture of old English and contemporary. The poem is an amalgamation of love and hatred. It signifies the importance of trust in a relationship. What a couple I must say. A little dramatic on the female part but a sensible person resides within you. Good work , keep writing. Let your imagination touch horizons and keep your poetry going on. May god bless you.
