a ballad in my poetic heart

-----------------

forming a guitar in my mind
strumming its strings for a song
nostalgic is its tune
sentimental it'll be.

forming words to make my ballad
a serenade to express
the sadness i feel within
thoughts i lost in the wind.

like a star i saw one night out south
twinkling .. sparkling like a gem
winking her smiles and joy at me
as i whistled a tune towards her place.

an evening star she'll forever be
to live on in my love for poetry
my music linger in soft tones around me
humming my notes through the night air.

yet in truth she went away
to fall or stay in another heaven
a tiny star so far away i cannot reach
winking back when the moon is so blue.

a ballad this song will forever be
in memory of a cool friendship i can't even keep
alas, i'm drained.. just thinking
i'm falling, sinking, like a stone breaking.
