Blind serenade

In all that words can't tell,

the feelings that we can't quell,

lie a thousand and one sighs.

 

Am a bird singing in May

but my feathers are in disarray;

never again do I want to bewail

for Fate's exclusion on the love sail.

It could be another tale

of Romeo and Juliet washed down the dale.

Welcome to Neopoet

It could be another tale of Romeo and Juliet washed down the dale. I can relate to this poem closely. Nicely done! Welcome to the site :-) Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

nice

my romeo turned out to be a complete ass. I liked the words you used, the beginning and ending said it all. as bayoujeanette said. it reminded me of the sweetness he'd provided. thank you, for making me a little less bitter. :) kudos
