Harpie

Harpie

Along a darkened road

By a glistening brook

A lonely maid sat waiting

For a love to come along

She waited very patiently

She could not comprehend

Why no one ever came looking?

What caused her heart to rend?

Eventually no one remembered

The poor maid waiting there

Till all that was left of her

Was her long luxurious hair

Then there came a minstrel

Lacking proper resources

He used the hair for strings

And the bones for harp pieces

When he brought it to town

The hair played its own tale

The lesson learned by all?

Sometimes even the good fail

Content

Flying high so close to the sun

The flames are burning higher

Enjoy your time of fun

The passion of a burning fire

Burns brightly and fervid in the mind

As long as pleasure never tires

Providing nourishment for the mind

Can counteract any ennui

Give partners time to unwind

No question about it, patience is key

We’ve heard it time and again

The love we share will keep us free

If this is not your ideal plan, call me friend

I’ll content myself with just that

I’ll rather be wanted then hated again

But once we were a lot of fun

We walked on tightrope wires

But as the years unwind

We’ve learned just to be

Even if our hearts will rend

I’ll content myself with that
