Sijos for My Beloved
Supine,
gazing at the heavens, I imagine her there watching The
stars in her sky, her mind filled with images of me. Then
I awaken, alone in my room, with only tears in my eyes.
All
these years spent and irretrievable, no one like her Ever
reached out to me and saw me worthy or rare, Ironic,
now that the miracle exists, it os on another planet.
Inconceivable
to me, that she should love me just as I am And
for no other reason but love, she is truly such a wonder. The
one who possesses me, now only cares for my gold.
Contentment
is an illusion, but exists in my reveries. There,
she is the embodiment of peace for my soul. Such
chaos shatters the tranquility in reality.
Her
laughter is a treasure unplundered, but is glistening there In
the silent trove of my life’s wondrous possibilities. I
cast my net, but only demons fill it to the brim.
If
only my weak words could express what’s inside of my heart. She
could at last comprehend the way that she moves me. One
night gazing into those eyes would banish a lifetime of sorrows. Lyle R. Berry Copyright 2000
