LOVE IS A SAD JOKE


The king’s men held his limbs,
The king pushed a spear in his chest,
The princess smiled, he realized,
The truth of love, before he left,

She schemed his death for whom he lived,
She loved not a slave, it was an act,
All motives now clear, his love abused,
Truth undressed and naked was fact,

Hurt tears melted from his eyes,
Lame words from his lips broke,
“Love is the song that silence sings,
A fake dream that thoughts provoke,
Love is a funny elegy,
Love is a sad, sad joke.”
