Lonely Perch

The city is asleep

Midnight shrouds all

Owl comes out

Sits on his perch

Alone in the dark

 

Cooing a sad melody

For feelings past

Love once grand

Long since perished

Past grips tight

 

The days slowly pass

Owl's dreams crushed

Love not to be found

Was his love that gave out

Pure beauty she was

 

T'was only her he loved

Not one other close

To him his heart is her's

Last to ever belong to

 

For she was

His life,

Lover, passion,

Found himself

Anew inspired by her

 

Here he falls apart

Alone in the dark

This broken hearted

Owl sings,"

will she ever return, will my heart be renewed?

Coo, know not what to do, hopes battered and busied.

 

Never to know her

To always be incomplete

know only of her

Love's twisted

Embrace to be

Renewed nevermore."
