Heartbroken

a poem by John Thomas

My soul grieves and my heart bleeds
Are you happy now
I wonder why I ever saw you
And why I fell in love

I walk alone by lonely streams
With broken heart and unfulfilled dreams
I no more enjoy the beauty of flowers
Nor do I immerse myself in showers

My lips no more speak loving words
My ears aren’t sensitive to the song of birds
Loneliness has left me crippled under the tree
And I no more find rhythm in poetry

The wind is steadily blowing from the west
My body will soon be laid to rest
Because once in life loves path I tread
Devil is stealing my breath I am going to be dead

Now there is just a coldness here
With the rain chilling down the atmosphere
But when the ran stops and the flowers are in bloom
Bring me some when you come to my tomb
