Fly away oh bird of love <br />Carry your feathered gift unto another <br />For my time is short <br />Gold has more meaning than thou <br />I have no time for such matters of the heart <br />Perplexed and not granting the price I need <br />My call is heard daily <br />And I heed for its ransom is high <br />It supplies me with a bed for one <br />Dinner by candlelight for only one <br />So what need do I have <br />For the grave holds only one<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-lonely-man/
