Happenstance
Like the glimmering stars
I cannot be sure of who you are
An angel to heal
To fill me with the feel
Of the pleasant love
Filched and spilled above
The impervious ground
Of the unreachable mound
Has a cave where I rest
And drill to reach the crest
To regain what's gone
She was inequitably drawn
Away before I explained
The sordid side of their brain
Grudging those effulgent days
They glistened the eyes unfazed
In the calm of the breeze
Kind tender beatific breeze
That is gleaned by this voice
Like the rain of love from the skies
Filling this forbidding cave
Excising the gloom to save
My heart from the anguish
As I would've indomitably languished
To no avail
When my words cannot impale
Her impregnable disdain
Was axiomatically inane
But the absence of love impelled me
Now languidly relishing what I see
Is the cupid lending me a chance
Spreading your love as a happenstance
