Forbidden Veil (poem)
I wandered down a lonely trail
The moon forgot so long ago
And memories had ceased to flow
Amid forbidden veil
-
And there I saw what couldn’t be
A maiden I had met somewhere
Now lost forever in her stare
And now it beckoned me
-
So here I sat it seemed so right
She sang a song of yesterday
When kisses weren’t so far away
And lovers found a place to stray
Where hearts in love could safely stay
Believing dreams would come their way
Which promised more than words could say
Yet drifting shadows did betray
Instead of Joy I found dismay
The song had sewn my plight
-
I dare not stay I couldn’t leave
Confusion reigned from all around
Her song became a wall of sound
Which offered no reprieve
-
I shouted hoping she would hear
But all I found was me instead
With all these reasons in my head
Why she’s no longer near
