My expectations accumulate | |||
Over so many lives passed. | Over so many lives passed. | ||
Yet, of those expectations, | |||
None are fulfilled. | None are fulfilled. | ||
They did not happen— | |||
Those that were in my mind. | |||
Those that I never wanted; | |||
They came in abundance. | |||
Whenever love occurred | |||
It was honey-coated comings and goings. | |||
It always went away, | |||
Satisfying for only a span of time. | |||

In the whirl wind, | In the whirl wind, | ||

My hopes are illusive mirages. | My hopes are illusive mirages. | ||
Only your two rosy feet remain | Only your two rosy feet remain |
