    THE FADED FACE

    Stand still, and I will tell thee,

    The story and love, which was meant to be

    Walking tall, in the pace of passion

    On the street, close to Lindy’s fashion,

    That it was the last month, December

    Even my name, she could not remember.

     

    Lo, under the melting golden sunshine

    Veronica gazed as the castles shine

    In the pupil of her eye, the prince smile

    Then my heart panted, like a run in a mile

    My damsel with standing nipples

    Walked with the prince, with her two-inched dimples

     

    In my window, at the fifth floor

    I sought and thought of any hidden flaw

    Then my heart stopped in the year, on February

    When on the altar, we stood and vowed to marry.

    Close to the eve of the morrow

    The fair prince came like the sparrow

     

    Silence creep in and darkness crawled too fast

    And such it was like the wind and dust

    “Fair prince, bring to me my damsel” I said

    But my heart would not clot as it bled

    I screamed, but only to see her back

    My dying heart followed, but to return with dogs bark.
