I MISSED

 

I missed very much

when you say "I see"

you will have in view

not my bad condition

that having no money

I waited fortuity

firmly closed the door

but you mean that I

shed much bitter tears

not bearing a brutal beauty

of a nice-smelling mint

at a rustling brook

 

 

THE LEAST VERSIFIED NOVEL

 

part 1

 

a way was sacred

I looked at it

spirit trembled instead of eye's ball

the way was sacred

 

 

part 2

 

because it led to you

or you were brought too

by the sacred way

 

part 3

 

oh

why it happened my dove

I forgot that way

for good and all

after your arrival
