What's love For those Who have not Loved; Lay down on pillows, Stared at clouds above. An empty cup, A marching band That runs amok. The empty eyes, The tight pursed lips, The clenched fist Of the oppressed won't hurt. A heart in solitude yearns For the warmth and touch Of a lover's burn. I see an empty seat in need Of a friend, a lover, A need to feed. The orange trees fruiting in the ravine, Are out of reach, will fall and seed. The winds that bring a cool night breeze Are halted and can't give reprieve. A table set with one plate and cup, Is where I sit, It's not enough.

The Lonliness of the Near Distant Lover
What's love For those Who have not Loved; Lay down on pillows, Stared at clouds above. An empty cup, A marching band That runs amok. The empty eyes, The tight pursed lips, The clenched fist Of the oppressed won't hurt. A heart in solitude yearns For the warmth and touch Of a lover's burn. I see an empty seat in need Of a friend, a lover, A need to feed. The orange trees fruiting in the ravine, Are out of reach, will fall and seed. The winds that bring a cool night breeze Are halted and can't give reprieve. A table set with one plate and cup, Is where I sit, It's not enough.
