"for keeps" a Cinquain Garland
Happy,
today in me,
for sadness yesterday,
sadness so often seeps to see,
slipping.
Sadness,
for yesterday,
for tomorrow will be,
without her I shall strain my eyes,
to weep.
Lovely,
her eyes so blue,
to not look at me true,
as she waits love so often abates,
to read.
I trust,
that someday shines,
for her reverent strides,
to see love is only spoken,
so true.
For her,
whilst she is gay,
so happy so happy,
ever often to lay with me,
to play.
Happy,
for yesterday,
to not look at me true,
to see love is only spoken,
to play.
