CHARLOTTA

If down my chin beads roll

Wait not for me to fool

Sweat it is I may claim

But just know it’s all because I bemoan

Charlotta's fracturing departure

Long gone are the happy days

Of merry laughter and plays

And now on the sky the sun seems to delay

And the once so sparkly stars seem to fade

Ushering in the since forgotten chill of the night

On a slip I grasp, like seaweed to an armature

Faint it may but let go I wont

A connection it is to my fair Carlota miles away

A tunnel of renewal to my so sapped energy

As the days drag by to the date so divine

Under lock and key my heart I keep

With blinds drawn least I take a peep

To the moments I hold for soon back soon she will be

And again the stars will light and the sun warm

Our play ground, yes, and witness they will

Our laughter and joy carry on yonder
