The Noble Unicorn Poem by Randy McClave

The Unicorn, the most noblest of all beasts
To which I had said my prayer,
To which I celebrated with dinners and at feasts
'Find me a love! ', I said to the mare.

The Unicorn then bowed its noble head
Then it turned around and it took flight,
As though accepting the plea that I had needfully said
It then disappeared into the starless night.

So, I sat and I earnestly waited for many lost years
For that noble Unicorns return,
I went through divorces, and also many sad tears
While unhappiness and loneliness, I did learn.

Then one day while I was feeling like biblical Job
The noble Unicorn had come back to me,
It had searched and then researched the entire globe
Then the Unicorn said, 'there is no love for thee'

I said goodbye to the love that I have never found
I then surrendered to romance and love's quest,
The Unicorn then bowed its head and then without a sound
It plunged its horn, deep into my chest.
