Rejected Love Poem by ASIEDU MICHAEL

Right by the long banks of the stream

Birds singing love in their dreams

With only little light from the many beams

Feeling an emptiness, that nature brings

Not to be loved by the one I love


So much beauty, I see in her eyes

So much love, I feel in her smile

So much peace, I feel in her hands

All my heart, I gave her to keep

But, my love reject my heart for hers


Ninty-nine sheeps, I left for her

Nine silvers', I gave up for her

My last son, I shun for her

Even my own life was not enough for her

Her heart, with nothing, another has won

The pain my heart, no man can tell


Right by the long banks of the stream

I hear the voice of he that condemns

They plead my heart, to go my way

To say to my love, enough of her

But my heart, my life, is hers to keep

My love is true and truth is love

I am the way, the truth and the life

For my love to live, it has to be me
