LOVESICK

Before you,
Love’s smoke once emanated from this rooftop.
On this pad, we laid; watching nights grew into days
For professing is sweeter in darken nights, than days

Before you,
She, I put under love’s oath,
with another man exchanged vows and troth.
And parted in me, sanity
Then I realized the misery
Spending years, worshipping a lost god

But like the snail returns to its shell and again leaves
I have come short and lost.
Drown me in your pool
For I am lovesick.
