Missing



I really believed
Thus, I said "I will"
Might I win this Time, Lulu?

Many eons had gone by
which has haunted me
My memory of three
Beautiful poems from my heart.

T'was the year 1981, 2, 3
Perhaps I said in glee!
Each of them from
An event in reality.

So in despair am I
As I search in gloom
For these humble words of my life.

To no avail, but it had this
ISBN,
So important this from
A place of importance of keeping
Everything ever written.

A big and wonderful place
Called a library of sorts
Where they say ,
I can find my darling poems

Lesson to learn,
Always keep words of fine love
Of art
Not written,
But in memory forever.

No sadness but regret...
