A Foolish Heart

By: Radica Sooknarine

When tears fall from my eyes,
With a silent crash they hit the ground.
I search for comfort in the skies;
I look for you- but you’re nowhere around.

I thought that Wishes made Dreams come true,
So, I started to believe in you.
In my every breath, there’s a prayer for you and me;
That the love we share might one day be free.

At times I’ve cried at our distance apart,
Seeking my solace in the unity of a heart.
Oh! that Fate can be so cruel and yet so kind!
Why must the one I love be so hard to find?

I eagerly await the promise one golden day,
Where in my heart you’ll promise to stay.
But maybe my Thoughts, my Dreams are too much;
That magic to me is to you an empty touch.

No, don’t say it - I’d rather live with the lie,
Than to see my Dreams slowly die.
