First Whimper

I am a lover and have not found my thing to love.

I have never walked, silver-showered by moonlight,
holding hands with love.  I have never stood unalone
and damply watched a summer rain. I have ever knelt
on castle clilffs, far removed, and watched the ocean’s spray.

Will I ever know these simple pleasures?

Probably not, so I’ll pretend I don’t care!
