Just Drifting Again... Poem by Don Nguyen

My heart seems tightened and heavy; is it coffee or love in the air?
Its sentimental mixed emotions seem to overflow engulfing all my consciousness.
What is wrong, soul, what is wrong? Why do you want to subject yourself
for another rendezvous of unmended heart or human scorn?
Do you really want to venture into the romantic unknown?
Don't you have enough the love of the Lord in your heart?
Yes, I do, but somehow my life has changed from the start
when my soul once embarked into this poetic journey,
Which I had described somewhere as a mystical forest.
Now my soul keeps wandering, dreaming, thinking, smiling, then crying,
What has happened! ? Would someone be kind enough to explain to me?
You all have enough experience in this matter of heart and mental mind of a poet.
My poet in me is now in love or not in love;
he is not so sure
With whom? No one that he knows of
With melodious jazz, with his own sentiments, with the beauty of poetry?
Why not with his Blessed Lord? Because with Him, he would know for sure.
Well, just like he just said, love needs not to be explained;
Just being immersed;
And one glass of wine will rewind
everything back to normal.
