The Dwelling You Gave Me

As a leaf departs from a twig which dears her true

And which on his care and ardor adamant

So acquiescent and frail you depart too

With the swift wind you became compliant

Then, ceiling became my kind of sky

But bare and dull contrast to that azure canopy placed high

Bed is now my kind of meadow green and dazzling

But damp not of dew but of my tears overflowing

My breath turned into a summer zephyr

Warm and gentle, repose to my fear

My tears grew into an ocean abysmal

Immeasurable with ripples cataclysmal.

You gave me this kind of dwelling after you left. But I guess you didn't know.
