A journal of the rogue year

My zeitgeist in verse. Writings spewed out from time to time during coffee breaks and aeroplane journeys.

Ophelia's song

Sing nightingale and starling
‘Tis time we lovers part.
I loved him, dearie darling
Wherefore he broke my heart.
Wherefore do fiery glances
And kindling of romances
Lie hid within our selves?
To burn without a reason
A blazing month or season -
Die rid within ourselves.
Love’s a fleeting hourling
Sing, nightingale and starling
Consumed before the start
Fleeting, flighty summer
Dewdrop on gossamer
O! loving broke my heart –
‘Tis time we lovers part.
