Suffered, the stunning reality of an unknown animosity,
By what circumstances or gossips of ignorant people,
Or just a feeling by some wayfarer devil laid,
Into her heart where hate for anyone existed.
So silently into a heart crept and fed the soul anger,
Ah’ every action of a loving man she saw as a reason,
Not to like, not smile at, not ever to see him again,
Walked away, face turned, life
And from the anger grew darkness that shut feelings,
Feelings insanely tumultuous with no senses to reason,
Ah’ sleep came as a blessing but in sleep came darkness
And in them danced shadows that screamed love verses.
Then in every sense sprouted wings that took them,
Into a flight through unfelt, into a descend to unknown,
Oh’ mind became a valley where even nightmares dared,
Through five senses into that mind uninvited arrived, fear.
Every waking moment she looked, as with uneasiness felt,
The feeling of a man only through anger and fear known,
Oh’ every time she felt him in anger and fear, melted,
A portion of heart that love her beyond her knowledge.
But through the language of heart, again and again, remade,
Lost portions and taught
And light-filled days became more brightened,
As each one of them in timeless rotations penanced,
Every new day into his heart brought a new line of verse,
For him to feel the love, ah’ only for her meant,
For her to lose, anger and fear in the healing of time.
