The bitter end

Sweet epiphany

Why waste your time

On half a love song

Shallow rhyme

All the world has changed its hue

Where life was golden

Now 'tis blue

Yet not a tear

Rolls down my face

As I lie in this solitary place

Grown a silence

But no longer mute

Lost are my instructions

Does not compute

What is in a lover

It is what is told

What is in a mind

Too young to behold

Reviews

[paul]

wow. beautifully written

[Jibey]

Written with feeling and somehow coming to trms in the words with life's changed circumstances... I liked the short lines and well managed rhyme... and the sense, at the end, that there is more to life - though a lover wouold be good!

[Norma M Sutton]

I like the flow of this and the contradictions. Very nice.
