I Chanced Upon An Unknown Flower
I chanced upon this unknown flower--
She blossomed upon a tree:
We sat together and talked for days--
My blossom and me.
She wandered in her happy mirth,
And took me with her far;
She wandered by this lake called Life--
Life took her away, afar.
"Come with me not", last she spoke,
As she took to a stream;
Smiling now back and forth--
That look stifled my scream...:
Those eyes, desolate as if to say,
"Let me go--let me be free",
While stabbing at my silencing heart--
Taking all life away from me.
I'd chanced upon this unknown flower--
Free now, as the wind she flies;
Sitting alone, by myself
I can smell her when I close my eyes...
