Snapping a Leaf
Dedicated to Anil Deo and Belle Bellevue
My muse had taken a nosedive.
No inspiration whatever.
So I was inspired by two great poets,
And snapped off a leaf from a tree.
- /\ -
Incredible I met a dream lass
And wooed her with all my heart, declaring:
When I said “I love you”
We loved the whole night through
Well, we could not help but be happy,
Love was just our joy,
I was so happy over you.
Remember I pledged my love for you, dear
I will be yours so true
Nothing would separate, nothing,
Love was just our joy
I was sure happy over you.
Then fate had something out of sorts for us,
Our love became so fickle, darling.
Remember, I recall all that we declared
Our love had grown so cool, so tepid,
Maybe we needed a break.
And now you seem to love me,
How can I ever be sure?
What proof can you ever give me,
Cry over me, do
'Cause I cried a river over you,
How can I believe you love me?
My love for you was true.
Now you prove yours was true too.
For you did pledge eternal love
Prove, prove that is so true.
Truly I pledged mine and yours too.
I cried over you, remember!
Now you must remember too.
Cry for me my darling,
Cry for me so true!
Alas the snapped leaf had turn brown and withered,
And so had my muse.
