The Love Not Chosen
Northward I gazed where shine the blazing lights
While far behind me lie the fields and huts
I scanned my mind now filled with fancy flights
One world goes open as another shuts
Leave one or take the other, and no buts
The road down south leads to a maiden fair
Of sun-filled days, inherent homely thrills
The trail up north now beckons with a flare
Far too tempting, bedecked with so much frills
That dreams and fantasies it sooner fills
But bliss and glory fades with novelty
Lights can dim and passion do fade out
Things familiar damp geniality
When joys and tears would cross each other out
And Panacea may not come about
Now, after many years, trek I southward
Along the milestones that I once did pass
I beseech Fate to deal another card
To put me back on spot where I once was
To choose, this time, life with my waiting lass.
