Fewer Words (An introspective poem)
My lover gone and gone and gone,
gone without a try.
She loved me ‘fore the leaves turned dull
to match her bright brown eyes.
Now, here, upon her return,
she, I am too embrace.
But she ignores all lover’s remarks,
with sunken and sullen face.
“Where have you been all this time?
Your absence troubled me.”
A blank stare kept upon her face,
Her gaze fixed toward the sea.
I lay in wait for her reply,
to move or speak a sound.
But she just stares, no love or fear
can in her now be found.
Her silence breaks before it bends,
then she release a sigh.
But uncanny words and teardrops stay
behind her bright brown eyes.
She stands alone right next to me,
face ‘way toward the sun.
Say a lot in fewer words,
or say nothing at all.
Understanding now overwhelms,
the heart that lie inside.
My chest is tight, this be the last
I see of her bright brown eyes.
