A Lonely Man Poem by Patricia Gale

A Lonely Man

Rating: 5.0


Fly away oh bird of love
Carry your feathered gift unto another
For my time is short
Gold has more meaning than thou
I have no time for such matters of the heart
Perplexed and not granting the price I need
My call is heard daily
And I heed for its ransom is high
It supplies me with a bed for one
Dinner by candlelight for only one
So what need do I have
For the grave holds only one

This one is something that connotes man's polygamous tendencies.... it maybe true for those who can't control to share love to more than one. It may hurt some but shared special moments to many, love is pain sometimes. Very good poetry Patricia. Keep it up. Another 10.
